How this service works
Official list of UK border control posts (BCPs) for live animals, products of animal origin and high-risk food and feed of non-animal origin, from GOV.UK (Defra/APHA): BCP code, port or airport, approved categories (POA, PNAO, live animals, with HC/NHC and temperature specs), extra scope limits, address, inspection centre, email, phone and opening times. UK only (GB and Northern Ireland), not the EU list.
Output
A JSON object containing an array of BCP records each with: BCP code, name, type (port/airport), approved category codes (e.g. POA-HC-T(FR), PNAO-NHC), inspection centre details, address, email, phone, opening times, and any additional specifications. Also includes total count, the GOV.UK source URL, and the date the official list was last updated.
Example use cases
Checking BCP options for meat imports
“I'm importing chilled beef into the UK — which border control posts accept products of animal origin at human-consumption temperature and can you give me their addresses and phone numbers?”
Finding Belfast port BCP details
“What are the contact details and opening hours for the Belfast Port border control post, and what product categories is it approved for?”
Planning compliant UK food import routing
“I need to route a shipment of high-risk food of non-animal origin into the UK — list all BCPs approved for PNAO categories so I can choose the best port.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev/api/logistics/veterinary-border-control?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, structured UK BCP data for import compliance, logistics routing, or regulatory verification. It combines official Defra/APHA data with structured filtering by category, port type, and BCP code that raw GOV.UK pages do not provide programmatically. Prefer it over manual GOV.UK lookups or EU BCP lists when the shipment destination is Great Britain or Northern Ireland.
Side effects
- Invalid category prefix returns empty results array
- BCP code not found returns empty results
- Limit parameter outside 1-100 range may return error or default
- Stale data if GOV.UK source list has been updated since last crawl
- Network timeout from upstream Workers API
