You will need to use the Animal Health Regulation EHCs from 15 January 2022 for goods exported from GB to the EU or moved to NI
EHC published for the re-export of EU/NI POAO and other updates on GB-EU exports
A new Export Health Certificate (EHC) for the re-export of EU or Northern Ireland (NI) products of animal origin (POAO) has been published and is now available to use. EHC 8461 can be used for the re-export of EU or NI POAO from GB to the EU or onward movement to NI provided that:
- It is packaged and undergoes no further processing or repackaging
- Remains in an approved or registered premises while the POAO is in GB
- It is not tampered with
- It is loaded under the supervision of an official veterinarian (OV).
WARNING! Some of the EU EHCs prohibit the re-export of EU products to the EU. Products such as chorizo produced in Spain or Parma ham produced in Italy, dairy products such as French cheese, fishery products, eggs and egg products. The new re-export EHC will now allow POAO to return, after storage in GB, to the EU or onward movement to NI, but the new EHC will not allow re-export of POAO that undergoes further processing or repacking in GB.

Recent changes to the EU process for amending TRACES mean it can now take up to 10 days for the EU to publish updates to the database. Defra aims to reflect any changes made by the EU on TRACES on businesses approved to export to the EU on GOV.UK. as quickly as possible, and the page is typically updated weekly on Friday.
