International trade: General information - Declarations
When we become aware of an incident (e.g. an outbreak of disease) which may constitute a serious threat to animal or public health, we can issue a Declaration making it an offence to import specified animals and/or animal products from the affected country or region. The Declaration is signed by a senior Ministry veterinary officer on behalf of the Minister. The power to issue Declarations is provided by Animals and Animal Products (Import and Export) (England) Regulations 2006, and their equivalent in Scotland and Wales, and The Products of Animal Origin (Import and Export) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2001.
A Declaration may remain in force until the Minister is satisfied that the situation no longer presents a risk to animal or public health. Copies of Declarations which have been issued in 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000 can be found below.
Note: While these pages are updated periodically, we cannot guarantee that they are complete and accurate. Readers wishing to comply with legislation may therefore wish to consult with their own legal advisers. Also there may be more than one declaration relevant to a country or animal/product.
The following declarations are available in Adobe Acrobat
format. Information is available on our help page
