The Trade in Animals and Related Products (Scotland) Regulations 2012

Destination outside the United Kingdom

16.—(1) This regulation applies to a consignment brought into a border inspection post in Scotland but which is intended for an ultimate destination outside the United Kingdom.

(2) In the case of an animal consigned to a destination outside the European Union, the person notifying its importation under regulation 12 must provide documentary evidence that the country of destination will accept the animal, and the official veterinarian at the border inspection post may reject the animal if this is not provided.

(3) A consignment of products may be taken directly from the border inspection post (in the case of an airport this must be by air, and in the case of a port this must be by sea) to a destination outside the United Kingdom without a CVED, provided it does not remain at the border inspection post more than 12 hours (in the case of an airport) or seven days (in the case of a port).

(4) If a consignment is intended to be sent to a destination in the European Union, and the importation of the product into the European Union is not permitted, the official veterinarian must reject the consignment.
