Defra and APHA have recently published an updated list of UK border control posts (BCPs) for animal and animal product imports.
Most consignments of animals, animal products and products of non-animal origin from non-EU countries must come through a Border Control Post (BCP), previously known as a Border Inspection Post (BIP).
You must:
- tell the BCP about your consignment in advance – if you don’t, you may be charged an additional fee or your checks could take longer.
- make sure the BCP you’re using is designated to check your shipment’s commodity.
You can use the list to check you’re using the right BCP, and to find its contact details.
The list includes:
- live animal BCPs
- animal products BCPs
- products of non-animal origin BCPs
