What you need for United Kingdom
Food Safety & Contaminants
Not a legal requirement but a de-facto commercial one: most EU/UK retail programmes require GlobalG.A.P. (often with the GRASP social add-on) for fresh produce.
Food placed on the EU market must be handled under hygiene rules (Reg (EC) 852/2004) — a documented HACCP-based system in the packhouse, plus cold-chain records for sea/air freight.
Phytosanitary & Quality
All fresh fruit and vegetables entering the EU/GB require a phytosanitary certificate issued by the NPPO of the exporting country.
Mango is a priority interception risk for non-EU fruit flies (Bactrocera dorsalis) and false codling moth — consignments need evidence of a systems approach or treatment; repeated interceptions can close the origin.
