Other useful information: 

The Mersey Port Health Authority protects public and animal health against threats of disease being imported from countries outside the EC, and which may come through the Port of Liverpool.  
 
It does this by applying a range of EC and UK legislation to ships, commercial aircraft and their respective cargoes. In particular the Authority deals with imported food and products of animal origin.
