New EU Animal Health Regulation (AHR) and composite rules now apply when exporting specific products of animal origin to the EU.

Five new Export Health Certificates (EHC) and one private attestation (piece of evidence) can now be used, including two new composite product EHCs. Further EHCs for live animals, germinal products and products of animal origin will be introduced soon.

Traders can continue to use the current composite product EHC until  21 August 2021. They can also continue to use the current EHCs for POAO and live animals until this date.

More information on the new rules is available in the Animal & Plant Health Agency Briefing Note 10/21.
