Foodstuffs with GB import restrictions

Controls exist on certain foodstuffs from certain countries to protect public health. These may either specify conditions of import, meaning that they impose a restriction, or suspend imports depending on the risk.

Consignments of restricted products can only be imported through designated Border Control Points (BCPs). On presentation, documentary checks must be carried out in addition to sampling and analysis or examination as laid down in the controls. This increase in official controls take place prior to a consignment being cleared for import.

When products are exported from the country of origin into another country, without being processed, before coming to Great Britain, this would be considered as 'triangular trade'. In this instance, the country of origin has not changed and the restrictions would continue to apply.

Food Business Operators (FBOs) are reminded that it is their responsibility to ensure any food, or feed, stuffs they import comply with national rules in place to protect public and animal health. Any information provided on our website should be used as a guide, rather than a definitive rule.

Please note that any links to legislation provided in this document are for information purposes only and may not be the most recent versions.

Please be aware that import conditions may be updated due to changes in policy or legislation. It is the importer's responsibility to ensure they have the latest information.

Specific public health controls can be found below split by country. We try to update the table regularly. However, this may not be possible. It is importers responsibility to ensure that they are aware of any restrictions.
