Amivet Exports Ltd

COMMODITY SPOTLIGHT - Meat 🍗 The UK is a major player in the global meat trade, exporting over half a million tonnes of red meat each year. Exporting meat, like any product of animal origin (POAO), requires careful attention to regulations and the appropriate Export Health Certificate (EHC) for your chosen market. Here is what you need to know to ensure a successful export process, with a little help from Amivet. Understanding Export Health Certificates (EHCs) To export meat from the UK, you need an EHC to certify that your product meets the health standards of the importing country. For exports to the EU, meat falls into three distinct categories, each requiring a different type of EHC: Fresh Meat: e.g. Pork Chops Meat Preparation: e.g. Sausages, seasoned Chickens Meat Products: e.g. Bacon and Cured Meats For exports to the rest of the world, the EHC requirements will vary based on the specific regulations of the destination country. To simplify this process, Amivet offers a comprehensive EHC tool that helps you determine the exact certificate you need based on your product and destination. By inputting details about your meat product, our tool will guide you to the correct EHC, ensuring you meet all regulatory requirements for your chosen export market. EHC Finder | Amivet (https://lnkd.in/g6W-QDm2) The Importance of Traceability Traceability is crucial when exporting meat, as it allows the Official Veterinarian (OV) to sign the EHC with confidence. To ensure traceability, you must present an abattoir declaration signed by a vet, alongside the usual manufacturer and supplier declarations. These documents provide the necessary proof of origin, and that the meat has been processed and handled according to regulatory standards. Triangular Trade Considerations When exporting meat to the EU and Northern Ireland, it is important to understand the rules around triangular trade. If your meat product originated outside of GB but has undergone further processing within GB, you will need to provide the OV with: - The original health certificate used for the import. - A commercial invoice for traceability purposes. These additional documents ensure that the product’s journey is fully traceable, maintaining the integrity and safety of the meat. With these guidelines and Amivet's expert team, you can successfully export meat from the UK, ensuring your products meet the highest standards and reach their destinations efficiently. Let us work together to make your meat export journey a success. #Exporting #POAO #Amivet #MeatExports #EHC #TradeRegulations

COMMODITY SPOTLIGHT - Dairy  Did you know that in 2023, the UK's dairy exports were valued at an impressive £2 billion, with cheese alone accounting for nearly £785million of this total? Dairy exports from the UK play a crucial role in the global market, but as with all Products of Animal Origin (POAO), exporting dairy requires an Export Health Certificate (EHC).  Understanding Export Health Certificates (EHCs)  To export dairy from the UK, you need an EHC to certify that your product meets the health standards of the importing country. One of the first considerations when finding the correct EHC is whether the product is pasteurised or raw. This is a critical step, as some countries only accept dairy that has been pasteurised. Additionally, the origin of the dairy—whether from cow, goat, or even camel—must be identified, as certain countries may restrict imports to specific species. Ensuring these factors are established early on can streamline the export process and prevent costly delays. There are over 111 EHC’s that exist for exporting dairy products out of the UK and requirements can vary significantly depending on the destination country. In order to help with this we have put together a useful tool to find the right EHC for you: EHC Finder | Amivet (amivetexports.co.uk) The Importance of Traceability  Traceability is another key component of dairy exports, allowing the Official Veterinarian (OV) to confidently sign the EHC. To establish traceability, exporters will need a supplier and/or manufacturer's declaration. These documents provide the necessary proof of origin and confirm that the dairy has been processed and handled according to regulatory standards. For exports to the EU, the manufacturer's approval number must be included in the TRACES system for the export to proceed. EU Considerations  In 2023, new guidance was released advising that exporters of dairy from Great Britain to the EU must ensure that the farm of origin is part of a farm assurance scheme or has undergone an annual veterinary visit.  When exporting dairy to the EU and Northern Ireland, it is important to understand the rules around triangular trade. A product that has not originated from GM and has not been processed further whilst in the UK will not be exportable. If your dairy product originated outside of GB but has undergone further processing within GB, you will need to provide the OV with: - The original health certificate used for the import.  - A commercial invoice for traceability purposes. These additional documents ensure that the product’s journey is fully traceable, maintaining the integrity and safety of the dairy. By carefully considering these factors, UK dairy exporters can navigate the complex requirements and continue to thrive in the global marketplace. #Exporting #DairyProducts #POAO #Amivet #DairyExports #EHC #TradeRegulations
