Comprehensive information on the rules concerning importing food can be found on the Food Standards Agency Website (opens in a new window) .

We would like to know the following information:

Identity of importers and the type and origin of the food, checks are made to ensure that you are registered as appropriate.

Identity of any premises that are the first destination after import (storage, processing, handling, buying and selling) of products of animal origin or non-animal origin.  Products of animal origin will have a Common Veterinary Entry Document (CVED) which must be held at the premises for 12 months.

As part of routine inspections we will be looking for imported food to consider fitness and legitimate import.
