Thanks to Andy Baker for this expert overview of our new Focus on Food: Import Procedures course!

This brand-new course has been introduced to meet growing demand for specialist training in the import processes that apply to importing Food and drink products including POAO , Plant health products and composite goods. It explains the regulatory bodies involved, what they do and the rules behind them. It explains when health certificates or phytosanitary certificates are needed and the pre notification process on IPAFFS, and how to understand your obligations as a composite food product importer. It covers the changes to the rules and regulations under the phased approach scheme from Jan 2022 and the changes in July 2022 and what you need to know for your goods to be able to clear customs.


While you are here you may be interested in some Strong & Herd LLP training courses related to this topic, we offer a wide range of high quality training courses to support all importing and exporting activities.
