The Burgos Chamber of Commerce summarises in its international bulletin the key points for companies: the new packaging regulation, the decline in exports to the US, and the steel certificate.
Exporting companies in the province of Burgos are facing several regulatory and market changes that affect their international activity. The Burgos Chamber of Commerce has compiled them in its latest foreign trade and logistics bulletin, corresponding to September 2026.
One of the central issues is the entry into force of the new European Union Packaging Regulation, which requires importers to exercise self-control over the sustainability of their packaging. This measure affects all goods crossing community borders, so Burgos firms will need to review their supply chains to comply with the new requirements.
In commercial terms, the bulletin reflects a 10% drop in the volume of agri-food exports to the United States, particularly in wine and oil, due to the impact of tariff barriers. This is a concerning statistic for a sector with a strong presence in the province.
Also in the EU, the steel industry faces a new requirement: a factory certificate proving the origin of the material to prevent fraud in imports. Companies have a year to adapt to this requirement.
In customs matters, the Tax Agency (AEAT) has launched the mandatory DC46 form, which must be used to apply for special customs regimes and aims to standardise their traceability.
Finally, in logistics, maritime freight rates have stabilised after the summer, although the Asia-Europe route remains affected by diversions in the Red Sea, which keeps delivery times uncertain.
