International trade
Imported organic products must meet standards comparable to those in Switzerland. National authorities or certification bodies in the country of origin are responsible for checking that these standards are met. Equivalence agreements with countries such as the EU member states, US and Canada facilitate trade, as their organic standards are recognised as equivalent.
