Officers carry out a visual assessment and on that basis, may send products for further testing against relevant Standards and legislation.
Depending on the test results, importers may be asked to carry out some form of re-working of the products and/or labelling. If the products are assessed as being unsafe, the goods may be suspended and/or further enforcement action may be undertaken.
Our import surveillance team takes on a national role to ensure the best possible security measures are in place to protect the public from unsafe products.
