HI All,
Just asking if anyone is currently exporting forage into Europe.
Under the new post Brexit rules we are being asked for a health certificate, we have contacted the government bodies and Defra but no one seems sure what documentation is needed and who issues it.
If anyone could give us a heads up that would be much appreciated.

Ask your customer what their government require, no point in Dethra coming up with something that Johnny Foreigner doesn’t like.

perhaps it shouldve always been like it after all a discarded bushmeat sandwich out the car window could cause something like F&M
Trouble is the checking will be going out , but coming into country you can bring any disease or mutant plant ect cos they not fussed over this end 🙄
We're the friendlier neighbours to them to make their route thru as simple as poss. But when you head out there they want to cause grief , Rather ironic when the EU always bang the drum of being friendly neighbours .

I’ve tried to avoid export stuff just lately but my partner in our business is having a lot of hassle having to reissue export health certificates for product of animal origin into the Netherlands and Brussels. His impression is that they are being deliberately awkward and not honouring existing agreements and not accepting loads.
Basically a couple of fingers to Britain are been handed out at the Border control posts.
If you have lambs, sell them now would be my tip.

It’s a total mess , I’m bring cresote timber into Ireland from Wales and it’s a nightmare , the cert needed is a sanitary cert, but I’d say what you need to look for is what ever cert is needed to bring in grain from a differant continent . There should be no differance in hay and grain . Just my opinion . It’s a mess but that’s what brexit voted for the ending of free trade , what way did you vote.

Good tip on the lambs , lamb prices here have shot up €15 this week for export to France.

Daughter is a vet signed up to produce some of the new paperwork for a large haulage outfit and it appears the rules of engagement are still being written. She thinks it will be at least the end of the month before it settles down.
