New actions required for businesses importing products of animal origin into Great Britain from the EU.

From 1 October 2021, there will be new requirements to continue importing animal products for both human consumption and non-human consumption from the European Union into Great Britain.
 
Some of the requirements include, pre-notifying authorities that consignments will be entering Great Britain and uploading a certified Export Health Certificate using the Import of products, animals, food and feed system (IPAFFS). 
 
It is important that businesses take the necessary preparatory steps to ensure they can comply with the new requirements. To assist with the new requirements for October, DEFRA will be holding webinars for traders - with a panel of experts to give traders more information and to answer their questions.
 
Registration for webinars can be booked at gov.uk
