HallMark Announces Enhanced Veterinary Export Health Certification Services in Light of MAS Extension

HallMark Veterinary & Compliance Services, a leader in veterinary and compliance solutions, is excited to announce enhanced services for exporters in response to the recent extension of the Movement Assistance Scheme (MAS) until 30th June 2025.

In a significant development for traders moving agri-food commodities and live animals from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, the APHA (Animal and Plant Health Agency) has extended the MAS, as detailed in their briefing note 24/23. This extension is a crucial support mechanism for businesses adapting to the new requirements under the Northern Ireland Protocol.

Key Benefits of HallMark's Enhanced Services:

Expert Guidance: HallMark provides comprehensive advice and guidance to exporters, helping them navigate the complexities of new trading requirements with ease.

Cost-Effective Certification: In line with the MAS scheme, HallMark offers a charging remuneration scheme that significantly reduces the financial burden on traders. This includes waiving or covering direct certification costs for movements of agri-food goods from GB to NI.

Wide Range of Products Covered: HallMark's certification services encompass a broad spectrum of products, including products of animal origin, plants and plant products, high-risk food and feed of non-animal origin, and organic products.

Seamless Process and Government Reimbursement: HallMark, registered on the APHA EHC Online, manages the reimbursement process with the UK Government, ensuring a smooth and efficient certification experience for clients. This may result in significantly reduced or even free-of-charge services for certain clients.

Continued Support and Reliability: With over 68,292 Export Health Certificates processed since the launch of MAS, HallMark remains a reliable partner for exporters seeking to maintain and grow their trade with Northern Ireland.

Looking Ahead:

The extension of MAS until 30th June 2025 aligns with the full implementation of the Windsor Framework, providing a stable and supportive environment for traders. HallMark is committed to leveraging this opportunity to offer enhanced Veterinary Export Health Certification services, ensuring that businesses can continue their trade with confidence and efficiency.
