Key figures
If you import other vegetables from Bangladesh
- Chance a consignment is opened at the EU border
- 30% of consignments get identity and physical checks for pesticide residues (Reg. (EU) 2019/1793).
- If it is rejected
- Destroyed 45%; held, final fate not recorded 27%; re-dispatched or destroyed 18%; not stated 9%. A re-dispatched lot can be sold elsewhere, a treated or sorted one can be released once it complies, and a destroyed one is lost.
- Where rejections happen
- Germany (3), Italy (3), France (2), of 11 border rejections in the last 3 years.
- Riskiest months
- February, January, March, by rejections since 2020.
- Test for before shipping
- fenpropathrin (8), dimethoate (6), omethoate (6), chlorfenapyr (5), chlorpyrifos (5).
The EU does not publish how many consignments are shipped, so no page can state a true probability of rejection; these are the figures that are published.
