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.
