PGI
Category: Compliance
Also searched as: Protected Geographical Indication
Definition (plain English)
PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) identifies products linked to a region where at least one stage of production, processing, or preparation occurs there. It protects geographic naming claims with defined specifications.
Why it matters commercially
PGI is tied to market-access evidence; gaps can stop shipments or trigger relabeling and corrective-action cost.
Example
Broker and importer aligned pgi details before filing to avoid holds, reassessment, or post-clearance corrections.
Common mistake
Assuming PGI evidence from one market is automatically accepted in another without checking local requirements.
