Pet food: animal health certificates for export

Certificates may be in English and/or another language without a corresponding French version. The chosen language(s) is determined by the requirements of importing countries for their understanding.

These certificates are for information purposes only. If you are planning an export, please contact the Animal Health Offices in your area to verify that the certificate is valid, that it applies to your export, and that there are no disease outbreaks or other events that may cause exports to be suspended.

Certification for direct export to the European Union (EU) must be done using the Trade Control and Expert System New Technology (TRACES NT).

However, in case a commodity is first exported to a third country before being exported to the EU (for example, pet food exported to the USA for further export to EU; animal products exported to the USA for further processing into pet food to be exported to EU), additional certification attesting for the EU requirements is required, so please contact the Animal Health Office Office in your area.
