Details

The pet travel checklist (form PT45) is a list of questions that the checker or carrier can use when inspecting animals and documents to ensure they comply with the Pet Travel Regulations. It is not mandatory to complete and return this form.

The non-compliance return (form PETS08) should be used to report a failure to comply with the Pet Travel Regulations. The completed form must be sent to the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA). The checker or carrier should keep a copy and give a copy to the customer.

The confirmation of treatment (form PETS09) should be used to contact a vet following a non-compliance with the Pet Travel Regulations, where the confirmation can prove compliance under certain administrative circumstances. The checker or carrier should keep a copy and may give a copy to the customer.

The report of non-compliance (form IV62) should be used to report discrepancies in documents to the Imports Team at the Centre for International Trade at Carlisle. This form should be used by Local Authority Trading Standards and by the checker or carrier for non-routine non-compliances not detailed on the PETS08 or where extra information would be of benefit.

For further information, see the guidance on checks on pets by transport carriers.
