What are the specific labelling requirements for exporting alcoholic beverages to Dutch and Italian markets, and do I need an EU address on the label?
The labelling requirements for the Dutch and Italian markets are largely aligned with UK requirements, with a few key differences:
**Labelling specifics:** - The **pregnant woman logo** (warning symbol) is compulsory across the EU, whereas it is optional in the UK. - An **EU address is compulsory** on the bottle for both markets (this differs from the UK where it is not required). - Basic labelling follows the same format as UK labelling otherwise.
**Shipping recommendations for samples:** Members have successfully used both **Hillebrand** (international courier—approximately £100 for 2 × 70cl bottles from London to international destinations) and **UPS** for sample shipments to Italy.
