Risk Analysis Overview

Overview

APHIS risk analyses provide recommendations to APHIS decision-makers to ensure safe trade. The risk analysis process is transparent to APHIS trading partners. That means, in accordance with the SPS Agreement, all information is shared with APHIS trading partners during a risk analysis.

Risk Analysis includes three processes:

  1. Risk Assessment---the scientific evaluation of the biological risks and potential consequences;

  2. Risk Management---a process of determining appropriate measures to reduce risk; and

  3. Risk Communication---the sharing of risk information.
