Do I need a certificate for Port Health?

In the U.K. and many other countries, Port Health is the name of the authority tasked with protecting public, environmental and animal health. This authority carries out various health controls at the borders.

If your goods are edible or used in food and drink, you may need to provide extra documents for the Port Health (or the country’s equivalent) – this is to ensure your goods can be cleared. Any goods that could pose a health threat are likely to need a certificate.

The types of certificates you may need to include:

  • Organic certification
  • Phytosanitary certificate
  • Sanitary certificate
