Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine Brexit Trader Notice
Export of Equine Animals from Ireland to United Kingdom from January 1st, 2021
Now that the UK is no longer in the EU Customs Union or Single Market, it sets its own import requirements. Since Jan 1 2021, the movement of live animals and germinal products from Ireland to Great Britain must be pre-notified on the UK’s Imports of Products, Animal, Food and Feed System (IPAFFS) and must be accompanied by an Export Health Certificate.
Details are also available on DAFM’s web pages:
Current Service Levels
Due to increased demand for our services, the current turn around timeframe for new registration applications (where complete and correct) is approximately 5 working days.
We no longer offer same day service.
Applications will only be accepted and dispached by An Post (standard post) or DPD couriers.
We currently cannot accomodate in person callers without an appointment. It is pointless turning up unannounced, you will be turned away.
There is nowhere to leave applications and there is nowhere to collect passports out of hours. Do not ask, as refusal may offend.
Phone lines are attended 10am to 1pm week days, this frees up available staff at other times to actually concentrate on processing applications.
If you have an urgent enquiry outside of these hours please email us on [email protected]
