Что импортеры и дистрибьюторы должны проверить перед отправкой наполнителя для кошачьего туалета через границу — от правил ЕС по упаковке PPWR до документации, сертификатов и готовности поставщиков к экспорту. Создан для покупателей, которым нужна соответствующая требованиям и защищенная цепочка поставок.
Cat litter export compliance centers on four things: (1) packaging and environmental-claim law at the destination market — most urgently the EU's PPWR (Regulation 2025/40, effective 12 August 2026), the EU greenwashing ban (EmpCo 2024/825), the EU microplastics restriction, and US state packaging EPR; (2) accurate HS classification and tariff documentation for customs; (3) environmental and end-of-life compliance, including carbon-footprint expectations and flushable-label rules; and (4) a supplier with export-ready certification (ISO 9001, BSCI, SGS, REACH as applicable) and documented quality control. Pet Horizon supports OEM and private-label buyers with regulation-aligned packaging and full export documentation.
The EU leads on binding packaging and environmental-claim law, and US states are following with their own packaging EPR programs. These are the compliance changes that most directly affect cat litter exporters — confirm applicability with counsel before shipping.
