Less than 10 weeks before UK import controls begin

Less than 10 weeks remain until enhanced import controls are brought into effect in 2022. Pre-lodged import declarations will be required for all shipments and the penultimate phase of the staged rollout of port health checks will come into effect, with the final step expected in July 2022.

All of shipments of Products Of Animal Origin (POAO), Animal By-Products (ABP), and High Risk Food and Feed Not of Animal Origin (HRFNAO) will require pre-notification on the Import of Products, Animals, Food and Feed System (IPAFFS).
