Green tea

The European Commission validated RASFF notification 2026.8283 on 18 September 2026 concerning a border rejection of a shipment of green tea. The notification was made by Croatia.

The consignment of green tea, weighing 40.0 g, originating in China and shipped from Serbia, was detained at border control because it arrived without the required accompanying documentation. The product was allowed to travel to its destination under customs seals, and the measure taken is re-dispatch from Croatia.

The classification is a border rejection notification and the risk decision is that the risk is not serious. The alert concerns Croatia because it was notified by Croatia, the product was distributed there and a company in Croatia is involved.

Further consumer information is available from the Croatian Food Agency (HAPIH).
