For terrestrial animals and animal products, Circular 01\/2026\/TT-BNNMT provides detailed regulations on quarantine lists, documents, and procedures. For aquatic animals and aquatic animal products, the corresponding requirements are regulated separately under Circular 03\/2026\/TT-BNNMT.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A clear understanding of these regulations helps farm owners, traders, slaughterhouses, processing businesses, and import-export companies prepare documents more proactively, reduce delivery delays, and limit risks during transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Key Takeaways<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Animal quarantine applies to animals and animal products that are subject to quarantine and in cases prescribed by law.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When transporting animals or animal products outside a province, consignment owners should check whether the shipment is included in the list of items subject to quarantine.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Terrestrial animals and aquatic animals are governed by separate regulations and procedures.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Documents, processing time, testing indicators, and the responsible authority may vary depending on the type of consignment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A single set of documents or one general procedure should not be used for every case.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the applicable obligation is unclear, consignment owners should contact the competent veterinary authority before transportation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>1.

However, the consignment may still need to comply with requirements on disease prevention, origin, slaughter control, veterinary hygiene, or local management measures.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>13.3 How Long Is an Animal Quarantine Certificate Valid?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The validity period depends on the subject type, route, and contents stated on the certificate. Consignment owners need to check the validity period and conditions of use directly on the certificate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>13.4 What May Happen If Quarantine Is Not Carried Out Properly?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the violation, individuals or organizations may be fined and subject to appropriate remedial measures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A single penalty level or handling measure should not be applied to every case before the exact act and relevant legal provisions are identified.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>13.5 How Is Export-Import Quarantine Different from Domestic Quarantine?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Export-import quarantine often includes additional market requirements, international certificates, facility conditions, testing, isolation, and coordination with customs authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Domestic quarantine focuses on controlling disease risks and veterinary hygiene conditions when transporting animals or animal products between localities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>13.6 What Should Farm Owners Prepare?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Farm owners should prepare:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Origin documents.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health monitoring records.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vaccination records.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consignment information.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vehicle information.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transport plan.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information about the veterinary authority receiving the procedure.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>13.7 How Can Document Processing Delays Be Reduced?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consignment owners should identify the correct procedure, submit complete documents, keep information consistent across all records, and register early.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Previous vaccination records, health monitoring records, or test results may support cross-checking, but they do not automatically replace inspection or testing requirements for a specific consignment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Connect with Traceability, Transport, and Disease-Control Solutions at VIETSTOCK 2026<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper animal quarantine depends not only on complete and accurate documentation.
