Inspection at the Border

All goods are inspected by customs officials on arrival at a border (including land, rail, sea and air borders). If your product has extra import requirements, for example a sanitary (e.g. live animals, animal products, seafood) or phytosanitary license (vegetables and products of vegetable origin) then your product will likely be inspected by officials from the institution which emits the license. In some cases, for example seafood and aquatic products, inspection can take place at the importers’ premises.
