The Export Certificate Matrix was updated to include new official generic certificates for live animals and reproductive materials. In 2020, Ukraine introduced generic sample certificates (Model Certificates) for products of animal origin that can be endorsed by the exporting country’s authorities without additional negotiations. The Government of Ukraine (GOU) also published the list of regulations referenced in sample certificates.
