Charges
Certificates cost £100.00 an hour.
Additional charges:
Should the food in question need sampling in line with current food safety law requirements the sampling charge will be passed onto the applicant.
Additional information:
- Your business must either be registered or approved by Fenland District Council to apply for a Food Export Certificate. We will not supply a certificate if this is not the case.
- We shall always try and incorporate the wording indicated on your form, but we obviously cannot include wording that implies that we vouch for the safety of the individual batch/consignment of food. Our wording normally reflects the fact that your foodstuffs are produced and stored in premises subject to our jurisdiction as a food authority, and which have been subject to a satisfactory inspection programme.
- We reserve the right to decline to issue a certificate if your premises, hygiene standards and or practices fail to meet current food safety standards.
- Officers may want to inspect a consignment of the food before the certificate is issued.
- Please allow at least 7 working days for the application and issue of export certificate. Should sampling of the food be required the application and issue of certificate could take up to 20 working days.
