IS GOING THRU NI THE ONLY WAY TO SEND PIGS TO EU NOW ?

Hello All.
We've been told today by a reputable haulier that the only way we can export Pigs to France is to go through Ireland. Is this correct ?
We're just under two hours from Dover so doesn't make economic sense.
Anyone have any knowledge
Totally gutted as we have a buyer for 50 to 100 .

You don't say where these are going to?
But if towards Eastern Europe then I believe you can fly them direct and go through a BCP in the East.

Ah that's interesting I actually own a company in Eastern europe & my late Father used to import cattle by air. He would of suggested that straight away!
The Pigs are bound for Belgium. A mere 150 miles from us.
