Back Physical checks

Physical checks for SPS Goods in the UK

New regulations are in effect concerning the importation of Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) goods into the United Kingdom.

Since April 30th, 2024, all Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) cargo entering the UK from the EU through ports and airports is subject to potential physical inspections by authorities. This measure aims to maintain the integrity of goods crossing borders and ensures compliance with UK standards.

It is of great importance that all necessary documents are present with the goods when they enter the country of destination.

If you have any questions regarding the new physical checks, feel free to contact our customs department. They are happy to help you with all questions regarding this situation.
