Live animals, animal by-products and non-retail goods
For other non-retail goods, it is intended that the requirements of OCR will be enforced from 1 January 2021.
OCR provides the following options for dealing with non-compliant consignments:
- Destroy the consignment;
- Re-despatch the consignment outside the EU regulatory zone,
- Subject the consignment to a special treatment so as to ensure compliance (e.g. application of insecticide treatment).
A summary of the procedures for dealing with non-compliant consignments of non-retail / P&R commodities is set out in Section 4 of the Compliance Protocol.
