Border control services

In the import and export processes, some goods coming from or destined for third countries must be subject to a sanitary control at the border, in order to ensure that they meet the hygienic-sanitary conditions.

Therefore, in order to import or export this type of goods, it is necessary for the airport to have border control posts or centres authorised by the corresponding Ministries, where the Border Inspection Services (BIS) of the State Administration can carry out this inspection work.

Below are the links to the websites of the Ministries, where the lists of airports with authorised posts or centres for the import or export of goods/animals subject to border health control are published:
