The table below lists the costs for food export licences issued by the Council. The charge includes the first certificate issued. Where two or more certificates are being issued during the same visit, there is a discount of 50% for the additional certificates as long as it takes less than 30 minutes each.
A large consignment might require more than one officer or take more than one hour to inspect. There is an additional charge if this is the case.
No service is offered on Christmas Day, Boxing day, 1 January or 2 January.
