The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (APHA) and the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) recently issued updated guidance on transporting animals into, from or through Great Britain.
The guidance details what documents are needed and which records must be kept to meet animal welfare in transport requirements.
The key section now included in this revision, dated 1st January 2025 covers detail about proving the purpose of your export in section 1 of your UK journey log application, if you’re transporting cattle, sheep, pigs or goats from Great Britain to a country outside of the UK, or transiting these animals through Great Britain. This became a requirement from 1st January 2025.
