Import Information Notes

Import Information Notes (IINs) contain statutory guidance about the import into Great Britain of live animals, genetic material, and animal products or by-products.

Import Information Notes (IINs) are technical documents containing import requirements for live animals, animal products or by-products, and genetic material. They are intended for use by vets, importers and border officials, and are commonly used at Border Control Posts (BCPs).

They may not cover situations where emergency safeguard action has been taken to prohibit the importation of certain animals or products from countries following an outbreak of serious disease. 

For more information, see imports, exports and EU trade of animals and animal products.
