Since 1 January 2021, exports of certain POAO from Great Britain (GB) to the
European Union (EU) require an export health certificate (EHC) signed by an
officially designated Certifying Officer.

Defra has produced this guidance document to highlight common issues that have arisen from the certification of consignments  since the end of the Transition Period, and provides further information to help resolve these issues.  The guidance has been produced for Food Competent Certifying Officers but will be useful to the food businesses that use them.

A copy of the guidance is available below and the Defra link to the document is here.
