Notice
If you have any questions or concerns regarding these regulations for exporting animals or animal products to a foreign country, you should contact the APHIS-VS Area Office in the State from which the animals or products will be exported.
Chapter 4(A) Health Certificate for Equidae Blood Products Intended for Technical Purposes
Advisory regarding commercial documents e.g. company certificates of origin or analysis: APHIS believes that consignments of blood products may be rejected by EU border inspection posts if the consignments are accompanied by commercial documents containing more specific information than the below certificates. APHIS strongly recommends that exporters not include commercial documents (or other paper work) with the consignments that make any claims regarding the origin of the blood products or about other information addressed in these certificates. The pre-lined out versions below contain the most specific assurances APHIS can provide for these consignments.
