Reminder: Effective January 15, 2022, exporters for commercial food and animal commodities destined for the European Union (EU) will be required to use updated export certificates. Export certificates can be accessed through the Trade Control and Expert System New Technology (TRACES NT), which serves as the EU’s e-certification system. The updated export certificates are the result of the EU Animal Health Law (AHL) that came into force in spring 2021. Using the TRACES NT system for export certificates will provide a secure, convenient, and streamlined process for doing business with the EU.
Current export certificates will continue to be accepted by the EU until March 15, 2022, provided they are signed before January 15, 2022.
