Exports By Vets

19/07/2021

We are gearing up to support clients dealing with changes to certificates for exporting food and products of animal origin to the EU.

Businesses from England, Scotland or Wales must apply in advance for the new Export Health Certificate (EHC) to export to the EU or to move food and products of animal origin to Northern Ireland before 21st August 2021.

Existing EHCs, which have been used since the UK left the EU on 1st January, are being replaced by ones with slightly different requirements, so any products heading for the EU from 21st August will require one of the new certificates.

Please read the advice to exporters on our website ahead of the changes to certification: https://bit.ly/3ewhi4S

If you would like further information on how Exports By Vets can help you with your exports, please contact [email protected] and 0330 111 9512.

Live animals
Germplasm
Products Of Animal Origin (POAO)
Animal by-products (ABPs)

EU listing for exporters and suppliers
You’ll need to be listed as an approved establishment with the EU if you either:
Export POAO including red or white meat, fish and fish products, or dairy and egg products
Germplasm - contact APHA Centre for International Trade to be listed
Animal by-products - contact the ABP team on 03000 200 301 or [email protected] to be listed
Supply other UK establishments that export these goods to the EU

The European Commission has confirmed that the current list of UK animal by-product and germplasm premises will be accepted in a no-deal Brexit.
