26 Apr NO PORT OF POOLE CHARGES FOR USE OF BORDER CONTROL POST (BCP)
From 30th April 2024, the Government’s Border Target Operating Model (BTOM) introduces changes to import controls for certain animal products, plant and plant products that require Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) inspections.
These inspections are undertaken by the Port Health Authority (PHA) and the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA). These agencies will be applying their own charges.
Port of Poole is also entitled to levy its own additional charges. However, the Port of Poole has taken the decision not to charge importers, hauliers, or carriers for using its brand new, state-of-the-art BCP facility.
The Port of Poole’s decision not to charge for use of its BCP will be reviewed each year with any future change only applying from 1st April 2025.
