In our Winter & Summer Export Bulletins, we publish details of new Export Health Certificates (EHCs) that have been agreed between the UK and target country to facilitate trade. As an example, after several years of negotiations and communications between the UK and Ecuador, the Market Access team, VTF (Veterinary Trade Facilitation) and UKECP (UK Export Certification Partnership) have been successful in agreeing an export health certificate for bovine semen to Ecuador. We hope that this will see agreements developing across the region for bovine semen and other commodities.
To find the export health certificate (EHC) and supporting documents you need to export a live animal or animal product like food and germplasm, please consult the www.gov.uk website or click HERE. The latest versions of the certificates are always here.
