On 21 December 2018, the Chief Veterinary Officer (CVO) wrote to third countries outlining our plans for the continued use of existing Export Health Certificates (EHCs) once the UK leaves the EU.

The CVO will be writing to third countries again in the near future to reaffirm this position.

All Export Health Certificates for exporting to third countries are already available on Gov.uk.
