Details

If your premises is approved to become a confined establishment, the Centre for International Trade Carlisle (CITC) will give the premises an unique approval number. If your application is rejected, CITC will write to you with the reasons why and invite you to reapply.

An Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) veterinarian will inspect your premises every year. APHA may need to inspect more often because of a disease situation or any other reason.
