  "text": "1. Products of the hops sector may be imported from other countries only if their quality standards are at least equivalent to those adopted for like products harvested within Great Britain or made from such products.\n2. Products shall be considered to be of the standard referred to in paragraph 1 if they are accompanied by an attestation issued by the authorities of the country of origin and recognised as equivalent to the certificate referred to in Article 77.\nIn the case of hop powder, hop powder with higher lupulin content, extract of hops and mixed hop products, the attestation may be recognised as being equivalent to the certificate only if the alpha acid content of those products is not lower than that of the hops from which they have been prepared.\nProducts of the hops sector imported from the European Union before 1 February 2027 shall be considered to be of the standard referred to in paragraph 1 if they are accompanied by a certificate issued in accordance with Article 77 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 as it has effect in EU law, as amended from time to time, provided that the Secretary of State has not published a statement under Article 77(4) in respect of those products.\n3. In order to minimise the administrative burden, the Secretary of State may make regulations setting the conditions under which obligations related to an attestation of equivalence and the labelling of packaging are not to apply.\n4. The Secretary of State may make regulations setting out the measures necessary for the application of this Article, including the rules on the recognition of attestations of equivalence and on the checking of imports of hops. ...",
