Health certificate for processed manure, derived products from processed manure and guano from bats [17 Equivalent]

To be eligible for this certificate, a facility must be listed for [and the materials must meet the requirements of] the Regulation 142/2011 as amended “CHAPTER 17 Health certificate for processed manure, derived products from processed manure and guano from bats intended for dispatch to or for transit through the European Union”. 

Like the European Union, Great Britain prohibits the import of unprocessed manure, including but not limited to, guano from bats. 

The health certificate and notes for completion are two separate documents.  When submitting the certificate(s) for endorsement to the service center, it is required to include both the certificate and the notes for completion with the appropriate line-outs. The notes section is not required to accompany the certificate or consignment, but is provided with line-outs to assist exporters and endorsing officials. 

Please contact your Veterinary Export Trade Services for details on how to request required listings and certificates.
