Details

The European Union (EU) requires that an Attestation of Equivalence (AoE) is used to export hops and hops products to the EU from third countries.

In the United Kingdom (UK), the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) will issue EU AoEs for hops and hops products grown or processed in Great Britain (GB).

Read more information about when you will require an EU AoE issued by the RPA.

Enrol with RPA

Before applying for an EU AoE, you must first enrol with RPA.

To enrol, complete the EU AoE Enrolment form and return it to either the email or postal address shown on the form.

RPA will then:

• record your authorised postal and email addresses
