Products of animal origin
The charges for veterinary checks of Products of Animal Origin
have been harmonised in accordance with Council Regulation
882/2004. The charges for 2010 have been set by Defra and will be
applied to consignments arriving from 1 January 2010. Following
representations from the trade, LPHA has revised its charges for
2010 to be in line with other UK ports. They represent an increase
on the 2009 charges and this is explained in the letter from the
Port Health & Veterinary Services Director below.

At a meeting of
The Association of Port Health Authorities in
January 2009, it was agreed by its members that the charges were to
remain unchanged from those set for 2008.
Catch Certificates
It is anticipated that there will be a national fee for checking
of Catch Certificates for imports of certain categories of fish and
fishery products as required by the Illegal, Unregulated and
Unreported Regulations (Commission Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008).
Until such time a national fee is set, LPHA will charge £45.00 for
endorsement of Catch Certificates.
