Border Control

FVS Border Control Department ensures veterinary and safety control on foods and goods, safety control on non-human consumption products and control of compliance with phytosanitary, quality and classification requirements on the EU Member states of products and diseases hazardous for consumer health and life as well as for environment.

FVS border inspectors works on all borders of Latvia Republic: on the roads, in ports, in railway, in post office, at the airport and customs warehouses.

By performing the control of the freights, the border inspectors initially perform the checks of consignment documents, after that they check if the information reflected in the consignment documents correspond to the real contents of the freight. If it is necessary the border inspectors take samples and send them for laboratory examinations.

If the border inspectors establish that a freight does not correspond to the requirements stipulated in the European Union and Latvia , the freight is returned back to the country of origin, eliminated or processed. If the border inspectors have detected serious violations, there are tightened control measures applied to the next freight imported by this company.
