Key figures

- Chance a consignment is opened at the EU border
- Not on the EU's increased-checks list, so only member states' routine, risk-based checks apply (rates not published).
- Where rejections happen
- Latvia (28), of 28 border rejections in the last 3 years.
- Riskiest months
- October, November, December, by rejections since 2020.
- Test for before shipping
- salmonella (2).
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.
