When exporting Products of Animal Origin (POAO) from the UK, Amivet Exports are here to help. You can rely on our experienced team to guide you through the process from start to finish, avoiding potential pitfalls along the way.
Top tips when exporting goods
Different products, different destinations, different and ever-changing export regulations… at Amivet Exports we understand that the export process can seem daunting but we’re on hand to smooth the way.
- Our interactive world export map and EHC finder allow you to search destinations and products, or get in touch directly with the Amivet team to discuss your requirements.
- Supporting documentation must be obtained and reviewed ahead of completing the Export Health Certificate (EHC). At Amivet we have the knowledge to ensure you are fully prepared ahead of time.
- If any part of your supply chain changes, supporting document updates will also be required. Contact us ahead of any changes so that we can keep your export process flowing smoothly.
- Different labels and packaging may be required for export to different destinations so let’s check what is needed early on.
- Required import permits must also be obtained. Usually, the importer will apply for these but, as requirements can (and regularly do) change, it is important to be sure that licences are current and valid for each shipment.
- At Amivet we know the importance of accuracy and attention to detail when completing export documents. Simple errors can prove costly, but you can trust our experienced team to take care of your product export journey every step of the way.
The importance of correct record keeping
Fundamental to the export process is having the appropriate supporting documents in place. This evidence allows the EHC to be signed, and this must happen before the goods leave the UK. Amivet Exports can help ensure you have the correct records ready ahead of time.
The paperwork required for export will vary according to the EHC in question, but may include:
- Evidence of country of origin
- Movement records
- Veterinary health attestations or disease checks
- Production records
- HACCP plans
- Temperature records
Whether you are a first-time exporter or regularly send goods to a particular country, with Amivet Exports on your team, we can guide you to success, avoiding problems and pitfalls along the way. Contact us now to discuss your export plans.
