As of January 31, 2024, some cut flowers and cut greens must have a phytosanitary certificate. These products can be found on the website: UK country requirements for cut flowers.
This means that you must register your shipments containing these products in e-CertNL so that they can be inspected and provided with a phytosanitary certificate.
Fruit and vegetables do not (yet) have to have a phytosanitary certificate. With the exception of: ware potatoes, Ullucus tuberosus and Momordica. For a number of products, a quality check must be carried out on the ready shipment by an inspector from the KCB. Inspections in 3 ways
The inspections can be carried out in the following 3 ways:
- The Quality Control Bureau (KCB) inspection service inspects your shipment in the regular manner.
- The KCB inspects the stock at your company. As a company you need approval for the use of a stock register.
- Phytosanitary inspection staff from your own company or from linked companies carry out the inspection. As a company, you need an accredited business control system.
