Export health certificates for animal products
Food and products of animal origin, pet food included, need an export health certificate (EHC) signed by an Official Veterinarian before they leave Great Britain. Roxana certifies exports for manufacturers and factories.
Who it is for
- Pet food manufacturers
- Factories and producers of products of animal origin
- Exporters who need a reliable OV for regular consignments
How it works
- 1Send the consignment details
The product, the destination country and the shipping date. The certificate is chosen for that product and country.
- 2Check the documents
Production records, supporting certificates and labels are checked against what the certificate asks for.
- 3Visit or inspect
Where the certificate requires it, the consignment or the premises is inspected.
- 4Sign the certificate
The export health certificate is signed as an Official Veterinarian for that consignment.
