Reply: Most of vegetables are subjected to obligatory avowal. Conformity declaration is a document in which Russian manufacturers (sellers, executors) assure that the product supplied or sold by them conform to normative documents set for avowal of this product. Declaration of conformity accepted by Russian manufacturer (seller, executor) must be registered in certification body. Vegetables are not subjected to certification in GOST-R system. Therefore no matter whether you have a declaration or not it’s not necessary to receive a certificate. You may obtain optional Voluntary certificate for this product.
