# The Animals and Animal Products (Import and Export) (Wales) Regulations 2005, Regulation 20: Consignments constituting a danger to health


Where checks at the quarantine centre or border inspection post or the test results referred to in regulation 18(6) reveal that an animal or a consignment of animals is likely to constitute a danger to animal or human health, the official veterinarian must immediately seize and destroy the animal or consignment (as the case may be) and the costs of such action are payable by the importer or the importer’s representative.
