Details

Exporters and suppliers who export multiple products (known as groupage exports) of animal origin from Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) to, or through, the EU will be able to use the GEFS from 1 January 2021.

To become a member of the GEFS you need to complete this application form and email it with a copy of your current supplier list to GEFSteam@apha.gov.uk.

It usually takes 5 working days to process your application.

You’ll be sent an official acceptance, usually by email.

You must keep this acceptance as you may be asked to show it as proof of your membership.
