Application for approval to purchase non-EU breeders
EU accredited producers may seek AQIS’s approval to purchase females from outside the EUCAS Scheme for the purposes of breeding. Non-EU breeding females remain in the system as not eligible for the EU, but their offspring will be eligible.
The cattle must have been born and bred on the farm of origin, be NLIS identified on that property and attested to be HGP free. You may purchase cows, heifers or pregnant females. Cows with calves at foot are not permitted.
Once approved, the purchased cattle must be identified on the NLIS database as not EU eligible. The transfer must be notified to the NLIS database in the usual way and a list of the animals RFID numbers must be sent to AQIS.
