FPC is reminding its members of the forthcoming changes to Inspection Rates for Plant Health Inspections that will come into force on July 22nd.

• The majority of fruits and vegetables (excluding leafy veg) - EU 3% and ROW 5%
• Herbs, spices and leafy veg (excluding ROW Ocimum 'basil') - EU 3% and ROW 5%
• Cut flowers - between 3-50% depending on genus / origin

In many cases, inspection frequencies are reduced and therefore should help to ease delays.
