UK–EU food trade could change again, with a proposed Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) agreement intended to take effect in mid-2027.
If your business exports plants, plant products, animals or food, now is the time to stay informed.
Don't assume that current certificates, inspections or border procedures will automatically remain unchanged. Monitor official guidance and be ready to review your compliance requirements as the arrangements develop.
