Background

From 31 January 2024, as part of its new Border Target Operating Model (BTOM), the UK is implementing new customs and SPS requirements for goods imported into Britain.

These new rules bring significant changes for Irish traders and will impact businesses that:

• export goods to Great Britain; or
• export to other EU / EFTA countries via the UK landbridge.

All products of animal origin (POAO) considered medium or high risk will require a Health Certificate to be provided for transport in addition to commercial documents.

Our Customs Clearance Team has worked with Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine to put solutions in place for HANNON groupage customers.

HANNON groupage customers can either:

• arrange for a veterinary inspector (VI) to complete their own Health Certificates; or
  
  
• use the HANNON Health Certificates Service to have a Health Certificate completed at HANNON Dublin by a DAFM VI.
  The HANNON Health Certificates Service is available for Groupage ONLY.  Customers with Full Load consignments should arrange for a veterinary inspector (VI) to complete their own Health Certificates.  For more information contact your HANNON Account Manager.
