In a recent notice from DEFRA ( The department for environment food and rural affairs) they are delaying the transition for traders who operate the PEACH system over to IPAFFS ( Import of products, animal , food and feed system) for the pre notification requirements.

This delay has been implemented following user feedback and is for those traders who have not migrated from PEACH to IPAFFS yet.


This means for traders who have not migrated to IPAFFS you would continue to use the PEACH system until notified again from DEFRA.


For those traders who have already migrated over to IPAFFS you can continue to use IPAFFS , this delay is only for those traders who have not migrated.


Should you have any further questions on this delay or the transition from PEACH to IPAFFS you can contact DEFRA - defra-spsit-plant_comms_enquiries@defra.gov.uk
