International trade: Customer Information Notes
Information on the latest developments in International trade is often issued to traders as Customer Information Notes (CINs). The following table contains brief details on those CINs with links to copies of the documents.
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 or alternatively contact the relevant team within International Animal Health Division.
Some of these CINs were issued by the International Animal Health Service Delivery Unit (IAHSDU) of Animal Health. Defra cannot advise on the content of these CINs. Please contact IAHSDU at the address in the relevant CINs for further information.
