Frequently Asked Questions

Is my product subject to border controls?
Products of animal origin, plant products and certain foods subject to increased controls are checked at the border control post where they first enter the EU. We determine whether your product falls into one of these groups at the start of the work.
Who pre-notifies the border control post?
The operator responsible for the consignment pre-notifies by completing the Common Health Entry Document (CHED). We prepare the required consignment and certificate information and coordinate with your importer.
Is there a fee for using TRACES?
TRACES is the Commission’s free platform. Our service fee covers only the assessment and preparation work we carry out.
Can this service be combined with the EU Importer / IOR service?
Yes. In the EU Importer / IOR Assistance service, we match the pre-notification of foods subject to border controls with the customs procedure.
