Customs, food & veterinary border control

The Port of Kalundborg is approved as a border control point for the import of food and products of both animal and non-animal origin.

The operation of border control is carried out in accordance with EU legal rules on border control posts and national provisions, including Executive Order No. 1810 of 3 December 2020 on border control posts, inspection centres and control points.

Containers requiring inspection are released to the importer only after the inspection is completed.

In certain cases, the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration may need assistance from stevedores in connection with the inspection of goods. In these cases, only stevedores who have been approved in advance by the Port of Kalundborg to perform stevedoring tasks in border control may be used.
