<p>Specific requirements will vary by commodity, with details available on the Gov.uk
pages for certification <a href="https://www.gov.uk/import-goods-into-uk" target="_blank">Import
goods into the UK: step by step - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</a></p><p> </p><p>The BTOM will
operate a sophisticated approach to risk categorisation, with the intensity of controls
calibrated to the level of risk presented by each commodity.</p><p> </p><p>For high-risk
and medium-risk goods, we will retain health certification and BCP inspection, albeit
with frequently lower inspection rates than under the EU model. Documentary-only checks
will be performed remotely instead of all regulated goods having to present documents
at a BCP.</p><p> </p><p>For low-risk animal products as a matter of routine we will
only require electronic pre-notification, which is already in place. Low-risk plant
produce (fruit and vegetables with no known specific disease or pest risk associated)
will be removed from import health control requirements altogether. There will no
longer be any requirements for pre-notification, with enhanced inland monitoring and
surveillance in place to ensure it is compliant with the UK's high food safety and
standards and to keep track of any issues. We will simplify Export Health Certificates
and make health certificates digital wherever possible.</p><p> </p><p>For medium-risk
goods, we will extend the well-established concept of trusted trader into the SPS
sphere, by working with industry to pilot new trusted trader authorisations for SPS
goods.</p>
