Animal Importations
Imports of live animals are controlled to prevent the import of
disease into England. The level of control required will
depend upon the species being imported and whether or not the
country of origin is within the European Union (EU).
In addition to the health controls that need
to be met, there are also animal welfare issues that need to be
considered.
Full details of the requirements for importing
animals, and products of animal origin, can be found on the
DEFRA website.
