New GB Ban on Export of Livestock and Horses for Fattening or Slaughter:
From 22nd July 2024, there is a ban on the export of livestock (cattle, goats, pigs, sheep) and horses for fattening or slaughter from Great Britain. It applies to journeys from, and transit journeys through, Great Britain to destinations outside the UK, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man.
Live animal exports for other purposes, for example, breeding and competitions, is still permitted providing the animals are transported in line with legal requirements which protect their welfare. The ban does not apply to exports of other live animals such as poultry, and it does not apply in Northern Ireland. The legislation does not affect livestock and horse movements within the UK. Exporters will be required to sign a declaration on Section 1 of all journey log applications for export or transit journeys of livestock and horses confirming that the consignment is not for slaughter or fattening. For further details please see: Transporting animals to, from or through Great Britain - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

The measure is set up on Measure type 467 (restriction on export).

9Y01: Livestock exported from Northern Ireland and not intended for transit through Great Britain to a third country.
9Y02: Goods not controlled by the Animal Welfare (Livestock Exports) Act 2024.
