The Special Imports System will be unavailable on the weekend of 20 and 21 June 2020 due to essential IT maintenance .

Veterinary Surgeons should obtain an import certificate in advance if you think you will need to import/use an imported medicine during this period.
In urgent cases where the VMD have previously issued a certificate, you may purchase and use an imported veterinary medicine prior to obtaining a certificate from the VMD. This is a special dispensation which only applies to the VMD online system during this maintenance period.
You should obtain an import certificate retrospectively as soon as possible.
