A certificate for this commodity exists, but may not meet the importing country’s requirements. Contact exports@apha.gov.uk for a copy of this certificate so you can check with the importing competent authority whether it will be accepted for your export.
If the importing country will accept the requirements provided by APHA, please provide the importing competent authority’s approval in writing to APHA who will then create the Export Health Certificate for you to use.
