The objective of our border controls is to ensure that the live animals and products entering England are safe.

We are reviewing the regulations in England and would welcome your thoughts on:

  • the extent the regulations achieve the objective
  • whether those objectives remain appropriate
  • could the objectives be achieved by less regulation

The review we are undertaking is required under Article 43 of the Trade in Animals and Animal Products Regulations 2011 SI 1197 (TARP).
