NAO Requiring CED List

list of products needing a CHED-D

The products listed on this page (check both tables below) have all been identified as a risk (high risk food and feed on non-animal origin, HRFNAO). Additional import controls are required at the border.

All of these products are required to be accompanied by a CHED-D and often other documentation such as the results of sampling and analysis. Read more about the import controls here.

If a product is listed in Annex II of retained Regulation 2019/1793 it will require a health certificate and the results of sampling and analysis. The format of the health certificate for Annex II products being imported into Great Britain can be found here High risk food and feed not of animal origin (HRFNAO): model health certificates – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) . It is the document titled “Certain food or feed GBHC176”.

If a product is subject to Chernobyl radiation controls under retained Regulation 2020/1158 (second table on this page) it will require a health certificate and the results of sampling and analysis. The format of the health certificate for these imports can also be found here High risk food and feed not of animal origin (HRFNAO): model health certificates – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). It is the document titled “Food and Feed originating in third countries following the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station GBHC208X”.

In many cases it is not just the raw material that is covered – some processed and compound products containing the controlled product(s) are also covered by import conditions. Please refer to Annexes I and II of retained Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793.

Advice from the Food Standards Agency is that the controls apply on the products imported regardless of the CN code used for tariff purposes. The risk to public health is dependent on the level of any contaminants present in the product, and this does not change with different CN codes.

*Please note – the product descriptions used in this table have been summarised. If your goods are wholly or partly made of any of the specified products you are advised to check the detail of the referenced legislation to find out if import conditions apply.
