Bear in mind that these rules are in place for many good reasons.


And some bad ones. Which is better than for animal products, where
the reasons (and rules) are almost entirely bad - indeed, actually
malicious.

I have my doubts that items 16 and especially 17 of schedule 3 are
really relevant to the UK, but otherwise the documents look sane.
NOTHING can justify rules such as banning private imports of over
(say) 100 grammes of smoked meat while leaving smaller quantities
and commercial imports uncontrolled.
