For animals and animal products, the default documentary rate remains at 100% and, while low-risk goods do not require certification or routine checks under the new approach, we are still able to detain these goods for checks based on intelligence. By next year, we will be regularly reviewing the risk categories and we have existing surveillance programmes to ensure that any emerging risks are detected and dealt with in a timely manner. Finally, the REUL Act is being used within its powers to replace the provisions under assimilated law that was inherited from the EU, and to create new provisions that achieve the same or similar objectives.
