<p>Documentary, identity and physical checks on imported meat and meat products from
non- European Union countries are undertaken at the first point of entry into Great
Britain at designated Border Controls Posts.</p><p>The frequency of checks applied
to imported meat and meat products are prescribed in Commission Retained Regulation
(EU) 2019/2124. Imported meat, meat preparations and meat products are subject to
100% documentary and identity checks, with the frequency of physical checks varying
from 1% to 30% depending upon the type of meat product that is imported.</p><p>As
our systems record all failures arising from documentary, identity, or physical checks,
it may be the case that a single consignment may have failed one or all the checks.
The total number of documentary, identity and physical checks failures as a percentage
of all checks carried out in 2020 was 0.36%, in 2021, 0.34% and in 2022, 0.31%.</p>
