UK to New Zealand Pet Export Paperwork: Plan Before You Fly

Travelling from Great Britain with a pet to New Zealand can require very different paperwork from a standard EU holiday. Depending on the destination and purpose of travel, an Export Health Certificate, treatments, tests or supporting declarations may be required.

Why export cases need early planning

Export requirements are destination-specific and can change. The safest approach is to confirm the current official requirements before fixing the veterinary timeline. Some journeys need preparation well before the final certification appointment.

What The Pet Passport Co. can help with

Our Official Veterinarians can assist with destination-specific export certification and document preparation. Export Health Certificate services start from £299. We recommend sending us the destination, planned travel date, species, number of pets and available vaccination or treatment records as early as possible.

AHC or EHC?

An Animal Health Certificate is commonly used for non-commercial pet travel from Great Britain into the EU. Many non-EU destinations use a different export certification route. If you are not sure which document applies, ask before booking the wrong service.
