Transportation of animal products to European Union countries

The customs regulations of the EU countries and their laws restrict the import into their territory of certain types of goods. There are also limits on the price of goods transported across the border.

Usually, there are restrictions on the transport through customs of alcohol (strong and weak spirits), animal products (meat, milk, plants, food), cigarettes, coffee and perfumes.
