airport importcontrol

The approach to import controls at the EU's external borders has been changed and supplemented by so-called risk profiles. This leads to changes in the regular import controls at Frankfurt airport, an important gateway for fruit and vegetables from third countries into the EU.

 

Here is a selection of the current risk profile-based regular import controls. It can serve as a suggestion for the adaptation of internal inspection plans. We have limited ourselves only to those import goods and countries of origin which we consider important. In addition to fruit and vegetables, other product groups which may be of interest to our customers are now also taken into account.
