Import Rules

Passengers are reminded that it is against the law to bring any meat or dairy products into the UK from countries outside Europe. Restrictions also apply to many other food items, including fish, shellfish, eggs and honey as well as certain plants and vegetables.

Controls on food imports are essential to protect British livestock and agriculture from pests and disease not found in the UK - and may also protect your own health.

Check the rules on the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs website before you travel and avoid severe delays, prosecution and fines on arrival in the UK.
