Exporting live animals can look complicated from the outside. The livestock export process is easier to follow once you see it as a series of clear steps, each with a defined owner. This page walks you through the eight stages from your first enquiry to the day your goats or sheep arrive, and shows what we handle and what we need from you.

Animal selection, veterinary preparation, the health certificate, records, crates, transport booking, handling at departure and regular updates until arrival.
Your destination and breed requirements, the import permit, your clearing agent or contact at arrival, and a quarantine facility if your country requires one.
The honest answer is that it depends. Testing, permits and transport booking each take time, and together they often add up to several weeks, sometimes longer for strict destinations. The earlier you tell us your target dates, the easier it is to plan around test windows, permit processing and sailing or flight schedules.
These stages are a guide only. Your quote will give a timeline for your specific order.
Fill in our quote form with your animal category, breed, quantity, destination and preferred origin. We reply with options and a timeline.
You should start the permit process as soon as you accept the quote, since it can take time. We tell you what the exporting side needs so the documents match.
We can share photos, video, health records and pedigree details before you commit, and we are happy to discuss visits where possible.
Import rules can change. We check the current rules at quote stage and again before shipment, and tell you right away if anything affects your order.
