CHIEF workaround for de-regulated plant produce for Rest of World (RoW) (Updated 08/01/2020)
Due to a technical complication, the CHIEF system is incorrectly flagging that some plant produce requires a phytosanitary certificate which is not currently the case. This issue is being remedied but in the meantime, if you are importing fresh produce from RoW to GB that is flagged as requiring a PHSI Phytosanitary Certificate for de-regulated commodities (See list of deregulated good below) as of 01/01/2021, you will need to submit the following information in your HMRC Customs Entry to enable clearance until further notice.
CHIEF is now accepting XX for N851 (Phytosanitary Certificate) for Imports from RoW to GB. For Plant Health purposes a country coding e.g. PE (Peru) plus PHC de-regulated goods will be required;
The CHIEF system will allow the following:
- N851 XX PEPHC de-regulated goods
Please note you will have to submit a JointHCG6i PEACH application for Citrus until further notice due to technical complications in ALVS.

CHIEF workaround for plant produce imported from EU>GB
