Like I said, you really need to read stuff before posting.
I followed the checks as a fisherman (this is a thread on fishing). The results:
Export fish through the right EU border inspection post and prepare the right documentation
It takes 3 days to get the documents
You risk your fish being delayed or rejected when they reach the EU if you do not have the right documents or go through the wrong border post.
