Authorisations for authorised banana weighers

When importing bananas, the net weight of the fresh bananas imported into the customs area of the Union must be certified. You are therefore required to submit a banana weighing certificate in conjunction with the importation. The banana weighing certificate must be issued by an authorised banana weigher. This is an economic actor that has been granted authorisation to weigh fresh bananas.

Authorisation code: EUAWB

Who is eligible to be authorised?

Swedish Customs can issue an authorisation for an authorised banana weigher when the following criteria are met:


Declarations to clear fresh bananas to enter free circulation should be accompanied by a banana weighing certificate with information about the net weight of each type of package, and the origin of the consignment. The certificate should be issued by an authorised banana weigher.

CE marked weighing equipment with an accuracy of at least 0.01 kg should be used to weigh bananas.

Swedish Customs should be informed during office hours at least 24 hours in advance when a consignment is weighed with the purpose of issuing a banana weighing certificate.
