Under the Border Target Operating Model (BTOM), low-risk goods that are imported to Great Britain will not need a health certificate.
However currently, where goods originate from outside of the EU, a certifying officer can rely on information in the export health certificate that accompanied the goods into GB to re-certify a commodity for export.
From 30 April 2024, under the BTOM, you will no longer need a health certificate to import some low-risk POAO from non-EU countries to Great Britain.
Therefore, where EU and ROW origin POAO are being re-exported, and no health certification will be required for import into Great Britain, certifiers may need to obtain additional supporting information.
