OUT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION!

PRODUCTS OF ANIMAL ORIGIN MAY CARRY  PATHOGENS CAUSING INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN ANIMALS

Due to the risk of travelers importing disease into the European Union, all personal consignments of meat, meat products, milk and milk products are prohibited to enter the UE with the exception of the following:

• Powdered infant milk, infant food and special foods required for medical reasons provided that:
- the product does not require refrigeration before consumption;

• Personal consignments of meat, meat products, milk and milk products from Andorra, Norway and San Marino

You may only bring in other consignments of meat, meat products, milk and milk products into the Community if:
• You have obtained the necessary documentation from the official veterinary services of the country from which you are traveling stating that the goods conform to the requirements for entry into the EU; and
• You declare any such goods and present your documentation on your arrival to an authorized EU border inspection post for veterinary control.

All meat, meat products, milk and milk products not conforming to these rules must be surrendered on arrival to the frontier of the European Union for official disposal.

FAILURE TO DECLARE SUCH ITEMS MAY RESULT IN A FINE OR CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.

For food of animal origin other than meat, meat products, milk and milk products, you may bring up to 1 kg , if authorized, without submitting if for veterinary control.
