Phytosanitary/veterinary clearances
Do you want to import plants or plant products into the European Union? When importing into the EU, certain plants and plant products are subject to phytosanitary controls. Importing veterinary products and plant products is linked to possible health risks for people and animals in the importing country. With this provision, the risk of introducing or spreading harmful organisms is kept as low as possible. A range of conditions must be met when importing phytosanitary goods which are subject to controls. A consignment which is subject to controls must, for example, be accompanied by a valid phytosanitary certificate. A phytosanitary certificate is issued by the authorities responsible for agriculture in the exporting country.When it comes to phytosanitary and veterinary customs clearances, specialist knowledge is particularly important.
