Common_Veterinary_Entry_Document
The Common Veterinary Entry Document (CVED) is the official document used in all member states of the European Union (EU) to pre-notify the arrival of each consignment[1] of live animals (pets not included), live animal products and products of animal origin intended for import to or transit through the EU from third countries.[2]
- The first part of the CVED contains relevant information about the consignment and is intended for the notifying part to report to the competent veterinary authority[3] in the Border Inspection Post (BIP).[4]
- The second part of the CVED shows the results of the conducted checks,[5] and is used by the competent authority at the BIP to communicate to the notifying part the decision regarding the consignment.
A CVED can be submitted on paper or by electronic means using the application TRACES (TRAde Control and Expert System).[6]
