Minimum facilities at ports

This revised Guide sets out the obligations which apply to port authorities and others responsible for the points of entry in Great Britain where controlled wood, wood products or other goods which are accompanied by wooden packaging are landed. The Guide gives advice on the facilities needed, not only to meet the requirements of the Order, but also those which are necessary to enable inspectors to perform their work. These facilities include ones which allow the appropriate action to be taken when consignments do not meet the landing requirements prescribed in the Order and steps to prevent the introduction or spread of pests become necessary.
