Changes to export health certificates over 2018/9....

At Amivet, we regularly check to see if there are any export health certificates (EHCs) that have been launched, updated, suspended or even deleted and then we contact our clients in the sectors they export to advise them as such. We also keep our export tool and export map as up to date as we can. However, EHCs can change at short notice, such as disease outbreaks, so it is always worth contacting us for the latest information.

Whenever we get an EHC to sign, we will always check the requirements and the associated guidance notes to ensure that all the paragraphs can be certified correctly, to ensure there are no problems on arrival in the destination country.

The tables are all listed by commodity first, then country in alphabetical order.

The table below shows all the 57 EHCs that have been ADDED during 2018. The majority are in the meat sector, due to sterling efforts from AHDB, UKECP, DEFRA and DIT.
