Veterinary inspection services in the Channel ports

As a single operator for the handling of your products of animal origin for human or animal consumption, we carry out your procedures at SIVEP in Boulogne-sur-Mer, Calais and Dunkirk

Live animals and animal products under control

International regulations require traceability of certain products in circulation ; this is the case for live animals and animal products, animal products not intended for human consumption, animal feed and plants.

The ports of Boulogne-sur-Mer, Calais and Dunkirk are entry points to the European Union where import and export controls must be carried out. Drivers must carry the health certificates corresponding to the products being transported on board the vehicle and have them checked at the SIVEP (veterinary and phytosanitary inspection service).

Guidance and support in your dealings with the veterinary services

BIMS will assist you in your customs procedures. We assist you in this operation of control of the veterinary services by checking that all the documents are in conformity and admissible by the veterinary inspectors.

Import operations recorded on TRACES

The veterinary certification and notification network, under the aegis of the European Commission, registers the movements and imports of live animals and animal products imported into Europe to ensure traceability and control. Before leaving the country of origin, the import operations must be registered on TRACES (Trade Control and Expert System) and if after control, the goods are not in conformity, they will be sent back to the country of origin or destroyed. We will carry out the TRACES registration on your behalf.
