Border Control Posts (BCP)
A Border Control Post is an inspection post designated and approved in line with GB legislation for carrying out checks on animals and animal products arriving from third countries at the GB border. These checks are carried out to protect animal and public health, and animal welfare.
Animals and animal products from countries outside the EU must be imported via an approved Border Control Post (BCP), where they undergo veterinary checks before they are allowed to enter the Great Britain.
See the following Border Control Posts (BCP) pages for further information.
This includes the Import Information Notes which are technical documents containing import requirements, and are for use by veterinary staff at Border Control Posts.
