Poultry: Import Controls

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 6 September 2024 to Question 3050 on Poultry: Import Controls, what certification is required to evidence that products are from unvaccinated ducks.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner

Currently, imports of vaccinated ducks cannot be certified as the animal health requirements in the Import Health Certificates cannot be met. Standard certificates for imports of products of animal origin and live animals, available on GOV.UK, are used.

Traders are regularly updated through industry groups, and the Animal and Plant Health Agency addresses technical operational queries via exports@apha.gov.uk .
