The following document is extracted from a document published by the European Union (Commission Regulation No 206/2009 of March 5, 2009). It applies starting on May 1, 2009.

Due to the risk of introducing diseases into the European Union (EU), there are strict procedures for the introduction of
certain animal products into the EU. These procedures do not apply to the movements of animal products between the
27 Member States of the EU, or for animal products coming from Andorra, Liechtenstein, Norway, San Marino, and
Switzerland.

5. Small quantities of other animal products for personal human consumption

You may only bring in or send to the EU other animal products, such as honey, live oysters, live mussels and snails for
example, provided that:
-- they come from Croatia, the Faeroe Islands, Greenland, or Iceland, and that their combined weight does not exceed
10 kg per person,
-- they come from other countries (other than Croatia, the Faeroe Islands, Greenland, or Iceland) and their combined
weight does not exceed 2 kg per person.
