Keep infectious animal diseases out of the EU! Animal products may carry pathogens causing infectious disease

Due to the risk of introducing diseases into the European Union (EU), there are strict procedures for the introduction of certain animal products into the EU. These procedures do not apply to the movements of animal products between the 27 Member States of the EU, or for animal products coming from Andorra, Liechtenstein, Norway, San Marino, and Switzerland.

All animal products not conforming to these rules must be surrendered on arrival in the EU for official disposal. Failure to declare such items may result in a fine or criminal prosecution.

1. Small quantities of meat and dairy products U.K.

You may not bring in or send to the EU any meat and dairy products for personal human consumption or the feeding of pets, with the exception of the following:

• products coming from Croatia, the Faeroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, or Switzerland provided that their weight does not exceed 10 kilograms per person,

• powdered infant milk, infant food, and special foods or special pet feed required for medical reasons provided that their combined quantity does not exceed the weight limit of 2 kilograms per person or pet, and that:

  • the product does not require refrigeration before consumption,

  • it is a packaged proprietary brand product, and

  • the packaging is unbroken unless in current use.

These restrictions do not apply to fish products coming from the Faeroe Islands or Iceland.

You may only bring in or send to the EU other animal products, such as honey for example, provided that their weight does not exceed 2 kilograms per person.

4. Larger quantities of animal products U.K.

You may only bring in or send to the EU larger quantities of animal products if they meet the requirements for commercial consignments, which include:

• certification requirements, as laid down in the appropriate official EC veterinary certificate;

• the presentation of the goods, with the correct documentation, to an authorised EU border inspection post for veterinary control, on arrival in the EU.

5. Exempted animal products U.K.
