From July 2022, certification, documentary, ID and physical checks are due to be introduced for animal products from the European Union (EU) into Great Britain (GB). The UK Government’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) want to start providing businesses with information ahead of further import controls being introduced from July 2022.

Defra will be running a series of webinars and Q&A sessions that will provide detailed information on the steps you need to take to continue importing animal products from the EU. You have the opportunity to submit up to three questions when you register, and we will aim to cover these in the webinar.

Registration is now open for the following webinars:

Importing meat and meat products from the EU into GB

Importing animal by-products from the EU into GB 

  • Date: 28 April 2022

Defra will also be running webinars on other animal product topics such as dairy, fish and composites and will communicate these dates soon. Sign up to Defra’s Imports Newsletter to stay up to date.
