Notification of veterinary cargo

If you import living animals or animal products into the European Union, you or your representative will have to report the cargo before arrival to a Border Inspection Post (BIP). For this purpose, you use a Common Veterinary Entry Document (CVED). Alternatively, you can register the cargo online. In that case, you must have a permit from the Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (nieuwe Voedsel en Warenautoriteit, nVWA), suitable software and a connection to the the government’s electronic letterbox ‘Digipoort’.
