Abstract

Healthy fur-bearing animals, rabbits, dogs and cats, are admitted to the territory of the Russian Federation on condition that the total number comes from infectious animal disease free farms and administrative territories. Animals are admitted to the territory of the Russian Federation on condition that they have not been fed by feedstuffs produced with the use of genetically modified additives or other genetically modified sources. Animals selected for export to the Russian Federation must be confined for at least 21 days to special quarantine stations in the exporting country where they must be kept under observation for the whole period of confinement by the representatives of the veterinary institution of the exporting country. During quarantine period the total number of animals must undergo clinical examination.

The compliance with these Veterinary and sanitary requirements must be certified by veterinary certificate, signed by the state veterinary inspector of the exporting country and composed in the language of the country of origin and in Russian. The veterinary certificate must bear the date of diagnostic examinations and vaccination.
