The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) can access information using TRACES (Trade Control and Expert System) for species of animals that require a health certificate for movement to the EU.
APHA records Export Health Certificates (EHC) issued for animals to third countries that do not use the TRACES system. There are no exports of reindeer to third countries recorded in 2018.
