There are restrictions governing the import of products of animal origin and non-animal origin into the UK. Most animal and some vegetable products require checks even if they are not intended for human consumption.

• Products of Animal Origin
• Non Animal Origin Products
• Personal Imports
• Contacting Port Health

This is a chargeable service. The costs relate to the inspection of the goods, examination of the relevant documentation and the issue of the appropriate documentation.

• Monday to Friday: 8am-5pm
• Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays: 10am-4pm

Products of animal origin except for fish must be cleared by the Official Veterinary Surgeon (OVS). Products of animal origin will be held at the Border Inspection Post until the OVS is available.
