Key figures
If you import groundnut / peanut from Uganda
- 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).
- If it is rejected
- Re-dispatched or destroyed 83%; destroyed 17% (0 tonnes in all). 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
- Belgium (5), Finland (1), of 6 border rejections in the last 3 years.
- Test for before shipping
- aflatoxins (6).
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.
