Amivet Exports can help by acting as a specialist bridge between UK exporters of animal-origin products and European markets, especially where rules are complex post-Brexit. Here’s how Amivet can add value — in practical, real-world terms:
1. Veterinary certification made simple
Animal-origin products (meat, dairy, fish, eggs, pet food) must have Export Health Certificates (EHCs) to enter the EU.
Amivet Exports:
– Provides official veterinarians to inspect consignments
– Completes and signs EHCs correctly and quickly
– Helps avoid common errors that cause border delays or rejections
*This alone can save exporters time, money, and spoiled goods.
2. Expert guidance on EU compliance
EU import rules are strict and product-specific.
Helping exporters:
– Understand which certificates are required for each product
– Navigate EU sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) rules
– Stay up to date with changing regulations
*This is especially useful for SMEs or first-time exporters.
3. Smoother logistics to Europe
Working alongside hauliers, agents, and Border Control Posts to:
– Ensure paperwork matches the shipment exactly
– Reduce hold-ups at EU ports
– Support just-in-time deliveries (crucial for fresh meat & dairy)
4. Support across many animal-origin products
Support exports of:
– Meat & meat products (e.g. lamb, beef)
– Dairy (cheese, milk powders, cream)
– Fish & seafood
– Pet food and animal by-products
5. Helping UK exporters stay competitive in Europe
Post-Brexit costs and admin hit UK exporters hard.
Amivet helps by:
– Streamlining certification processes
– Reducing the risk of rejected loads or fines
– Making EU trade more predictable and less stressful
