No person may remove a consignment from the border control post unless it is accompanied by a CHED issued by the official veterinary surgeon, or the official fish inspector (as appropriate) in the case of a consignment of fish, and the movement is in accordance with that document.

The person transporting it from the border control post must ensure that the document accompanies the consignment and must transport it directly to the destination specified therein.

These requirements do not apply if the consignment is removed from the border control post under the authority of the relevant official veterinary surgeon or fish inspector (as appropriate).

In this regulation, requirements for a consignment to be “accompanied by a CHED” (and cognate expressions), in relation to a CHED F2in electronic or digital form, refer to the CHED being capable of being produced by the person responsible for the consignment at any time by electronic means or by use of a unique digital identifier, as defined in Article 3(27A) of the Official Controls Regulation.
