Export requirements
Exports of meat and fish need an approved establishment and veterinary health certificates for each destination. For the EU, Bosnia and Herzegovina is listed for certain products only, so check eligibility product by product before you negotiate. Meat processors in the exporters register of the Foreign Trade Chamber of Bosnia and Herzegovina most often list CEFTA countries and Croatia; the trout producer lists Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Romania.
