This is a reply from DEFRA regarding bringing pets from the UK to Egypt:
Thank you for your email received 3 August 2008 regarding the export of
pets to Egypt from the UK
I can confirm an export health certificate is required for all cats and
dogs travelling from the UK to Egypt and once the health certificate has
been signed and stamped by an Official Veterinarian, it should be taken
to the following offices for legalisation:
Legalisation Office
Foreign Commonwealth Office
Whitehall
London
SW1A 2LG
And then to:
The Egyptian Consulate General
2 Lowndes Street
Belgravia
London
SW1X 9ET
Please be advised that to obtain the export health certificate cats and
dogs require a vaccination against rabies not less than 1 month and not
more that 12 months before travel. Owners and agents wishing to export
unvaccinated animals to Egypt are advised to contact the Egyptian
Embassy in London (see address above) to obtain a derogation which
should be forwarded to the local Animal Health office before travel.
Owners will also be required to make a written declaration to their
Official Veterinarian stating that the animal(s) has/have not been
imported into Great Britain during the 6 months prior to export.
You may find it of useful to view a specimen copy of the export health
certificate and it's accompanying guidelines, all of which we generally
send out to exporters as a reference tool. Unfortunately, I cannot send
this information by email however if you could provide a postal address
or a fax number I would be happy to send it to you.
I hope this answered your questions. Should you require further
information you may wish to.
