GB Law defines rules under which animal products imported for personal consumption or use are exempt from BCP checks. The Government and the Devolved Governments have deferred the application of these rules for personal imports from the EU as part of the post-EU Exit transitional arrangements (until 31 January 2027). In the meantime, Defra has used safeguard powers to ban certain personal imports from the EU into England in response to animal disease threats. Defra aims to retain these measures until the affected products no longer pose a biosecurity risk. The SPS Agreement will have implications for future policy on goods from the EU. In view of this, the Government partially agrees with this recommendation and has no current plans to consult on a permanent policy for goods from the EU for personal consumption or use.
