Key figures
If you import other from Uzbekistan
- 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
- Treated, sorted or diverted 57%; re-dispatched 29%; not stated 14%. 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
- Latvia (7), of 7 border rejections in the last 3 years.
- Test for before shipping
- imidacloprid (1), lambda-cyhalothrin (1), ochratoxin A (1), sulphites (1).
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.
