This page outlines the Border Target Operating Model (BTOM) risk categorisation for plants and plant products from non-European Union countries.

BTOM Risk Categories from Non-EU Countries

Some commodities are prohibited for import into GB from all or certain countries. Those commodities are subject to a permanent prohibition due to an inherent pest and disease risk (Table 1) . There are also goods that are prohibited pending a submission of a technical dossier from an exporting National Plant Protection Organisation to support the import of a specific trade (Table 2). Finally, there are goods that are subject to emergency control measures (Table 3).
