Import risk categories under the Border Target Operating Model (BTOM) for animals or animal products you’re importing from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein to Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales), and the import rules for each category.

Details

From 31 January 2024, to import live animals or animal products from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein into Great Britain, you’ll need to:

  • find the Border Target Operating Model ( BTOM) risk category for the commodity you’re importing
  • follow the sanitary and phytosanitary ( SPS) rules for that import risk category

The BTOM categorises live animals, germinal products, products of animal origin ( POAO) and animal by-products ( ABPs) as high risk, medium risk or low risk. Each category has different requirements.
