Import Inspection Statistics for High-Risk Plant Goods by Entry Point, 2015

Mandatory goods have a 100% inspection rate, as they are considered high-risk materials. This dataset provides a summary of 2015 import inspection statistics for mandatory plant goods by point of entry, including fields for inspection type, botanical name, and failure rates. The data is attributed to Crown Copyright and the APHA from 2016.

Use Cases

• Analyze failure rates for different botanical commodities based on the 'Failed physical %' and 'Total failed %' fields.
• Model inspection workload and resource allocation based on 'Number of consignments' and 'Inspection count'.
• Assess the compliance rate of mandatory goods based on the 'Document check count' and 'Doc %' fields.
• Compare inspection outcomes across different entry points based on the 'Point of Entry' context.

Strengths

• Inspection rates are clearly defined, with mandatory goods having a 100% inspection rate.
• Includes multiple percentage metrics for different check types (document, ID, physical).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
