Export Health Certificates issued by the local authority
Applications for a local authority Health Certificate to be issued by the local authority should be made at least five working days before you want the consignment to leave the manufacturing or distribution site in East Suffolk. If you do not give five days notice then you will receive a Food Safety Premises Endorsement for Export if your application is approved.
Export health certificates will be issued once official control checks are carried out on the consignment. These checks could be documentary e.g. from the documents provided with the application, identity checks i.e. where the consignment is examined or physical i.e. where the consignment is also subjected to additional checks including organoleptic tests, visual examination and/or sampling.
Please be aware that export health certificates cannot be issued once the product has left the manufacturing or distribution site here in East Suffolk. However, we will be able to issue a Food Safety Premises Endorsement for Export.
