Import procedure on fishery products or live bivalve molluscs and other shellfish

21.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), regulation 20 shall have effect in relation to the importation of fishery products or live bivalve molluscs or other shellfish as it has effect in relation to any other product of animal origin except that all powers and duties of an official veterinary surgeon under that regulation shall be carried out by an authorised officer.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (3) of regulation 20 (as applied by paragraph (1)) an authorised officer may authorise the removal, under customs control, of fishery products or live bivalve molluscs or other shellfish from customs temporary storage arrangements at any border inspection post to different customs temporary storage arrangements at the same post for the checks required under that regulation (as so applied) to be carried out in relation thereto where he is satisfied that to do so would not give rise to any risk to public or animal health.
