NEW Health Certificates from the 30th of April

18th April 2024

All certificates for the import/transit of animal products which have a reference number ending in X and a title which indicates they are for products ‘from non-EU countries’ are no longer valid on or after 30th April 2024.

Model certificates can be found here; Model health certificates for exports of live animals and animal products to Great Britain - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

As an example, for the import of meat products for human consumption, the ‘old’ certificate “GBHC127X MP-PROD: Meat products from non-EU countries” is replaced by the ‘new’ certificate “GBHC352 MP-PROD: Meat products”.

These ‘new’ certificates can be used already, but will be mandatory for all consignments accompanied by certificates issued 30th April 2024 or later.
