Port Health Authorities (PHAs)have charging mechanisms in place for covering the costs of checking sanitary and phytosanitary consignments, and the Government, in conjunction with devolved administrations, is working with PHAs to review fee levels and support the implementation of new checks of imports from the EU in early 2024. The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) is the competent authority with responsibility for the inspections of plants and plant products at Border Control Posts and Control Points. APHA charging rates for these inspections can be found here.
