Details
Most consignments of animals, animal products and products of non-animal origin from non-EU countries must come through a border control post (BCP), previously known as a border inspection post (BIP).
You must:
- tell the BCP about your consignment in advance – if you don’t, you may be charged an additional fee or your checks could take longer
- make sure the BCP you’re using is designated to check your shipment’s commodity
Use this list to check you’re using the right BCP, and to find its contact details.
This list includes:
- live animal BCPs
- animal products BCPs
- products of non-animal origin BCPs
This information is also available as an interactive map.
If you’re a port or airport operator and interested in building new or modifying existing border control posts, read guidance on applying to set up a BCP.
