New Certificate Requirements - Poultry from China and Thailand

07th October 2024

New certificates are required for poultry meat products from China and Thailand for consignments arriving from the 2nd December 2024 and onwards.

China: The new model certificate for poultry meat products from China is published by DEFRA at GBHC901_MPST-CN_v0.5_August.pdf (publishing.service.gov.uk).

Thailand: The new model certificate for poultry meat products from Thailand which require treatment A (the current requirement) is published by DEFRA at GBHC902_MPNT-TH_v0.5_August.pdf (publishing.service.gov.uk).

If the disease status of Thailand changes in the future such that poultry meat products that are required to undergo a treatment other than A, then this certificate would be required instead: GBHC903_MPST-TH_v0.5_August.pdf (publishing.service.gov.uk).
