Horses

Informative notes:

Chile has informed that the  health certificate (HC) that is posted on the IREGS can be used to export horses to Chile while the new HC is under negotiation. Advanced notice will be given when the new HC will be required for horse exports. “

 


Laboratory Animals

Informative notes:
 

Chile has approved a new health certificate (HC) for laboratory rodents imported from the United States. Effective March 8, 2012, all shipments of laboratory rodents exported from the United States to Chile must be accompanied by the new health certificate that is posted on IREGS. Chile will reject any shipment of laboratory rodents with health certificate format other than posted on IREGS.


Swine

Effective immediately, Chile has  temporarily suspended imports of live pigs from the United States due to the presence of the Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) virus. This resolution will be valid for six months and will be reassessed upon the basis of new scientific evidence that may arise. Please call Riverdale if you have any questions.
