These regulations amend the Plant Health (Import Inspection Fees) (Scotland) Regulations 2014 (“the 2014 Regulations”) and the Plant Health (Fees) (Forestry) (England and Scotland) Regulations 2015 (“the 2015 Regulations”).
Regulation 2 amends the 2014 Regulations. In particular—

The fees are set out in a new schedule 1 inserted into the 2014 Regulations.
(b) existing schedules 1A, 2 and 2ZA, relating specifically to fees payable in respect of physical and identity checks for consignments originating in EU member states, Liechtenstein and Switzerland, and for reduced checks are revoked.
(c) a new schedule 2 is inserted with a list of plants and plant products which will not require to have import fees charged if they are imported from an EU member state, Liechtenstein or Switzerland.
