Information on taking other live animals (eg. birds) and products derived from animals out of the UK to other countries:
To export live animals, products derived from animals and genetic material (semen, ova, embryos and hatching eggs) to countries outside the EU you will need to ensure that you comply with the import regulations of the destination country. In many cases the importing country may require that the animals or products are accompanied by an official export health certificate issued by Defra and signed by an authorised Official Veterinarian. Export health certificates may also be required for certain movements to Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands.
