Notes

  • FASFC adds that caution is still warranted, because travellers can also spread animal diseases such as African swine fever within the EU.
  • Exceptions: small quantities (up to 2 kg) of powdered infant milk, infant food, and special foods or pet feed required for medical reasons, if they need no refrigeration, are packaged proprietary brands with unbroken packaging, and are for the traveller or accompanying pets. Up to 2 kg of other animal products such as honey and eggs is also allowed.
  • The FASFC page names no rule specific to Great Britain and Northern Ireland, so no separate value is given.
  • Or the weight of one fish if that is higher; for personal consumption.
