For all samples that are being sent to us from outside the UK, there are a number of import considerations you need to be aware of to ensure your samples reach us safely and in a timely manner.
If you plan to ship samples to us from within the EU, you will no longer need to include the Facilitation Letter. For medium risk imports, you need a health certificate if one is available. If there is no health certificate for your goods, you need a commercial document. For low-risk imports, you need a commercial document. Read the full guidance here. This guidance applies to businesses in Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales) importing or moving animal by-products not intended for human consumption (ABP) from the EU. This guidance also applies to goods imported for commercial purposes by post or courier, including imports from Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. For more information on the process and to find out if your post or courier service offers an import service for commercial imports, please contact them directly.
Importing animal by-products from the EU to Great Britain
If you plan to ship samples to us from outside the EU, please read the guidance on ‘General licences and authorisations to import live animals or animal products’ in full and if it does not cover the type of sample you are submitting or the country you are submitting from or if you cannot comply with its conditions, please contact us. It is likely to speed up the passage of your samples through Border Inspections if you include correct paperwork in the package.
