Inspections of consignments of food at ports of entry play an increasingly important part in food controls. Until 1993, the situation in Europe was that the bulk of imported foods were allowed to enter the European Union unchecked at the point of entry. These foods were liable to point of sale checks and sampled in importers premises by the Member State health authorities.

Since detailed legislation came into force, consignments of animal products from third countries (non-Member States) are controlled at the outside border of the community since 1993. For non-animal foodstuffs there is no detailed harmonized legislation on imports and as a consequence there may exist in EU-countries different policies on food imports and control measures.

A working party of the Food Law Enforcement Practitioners in Europe developed in 1993 an import control system for non-animal products. In some countries of the European Union (EU), import controls of some foodstuffs were introduced.

From the recent activities of a new FLEP Working Party ‘Mycotoxins’, it can be concluded that there is still a need for harmonized EU-legislation on imports of non-veterinarian products from third countries.
