|---|---|
| Description | All Veterinary samples being imported into Botswana, have to be accompanied by the relevant import permit issued by the Departimet of Veterinary Services (DVS). This requirement is to control the movement of various clinical samples in accordance with the requirements and the restrictions/ prohibitions laid don in the relevant Act. This to insure that samples that could be highly detrimental to the well-being and health of both human and animals if not handled, contained or transported in a presrcibed manner and/or are inadvertantly or deliberately released in uncontrolled circumstances are suitably managed in accordance with the relevant Act |
| Comments | A pre-requisite to the issuance of a veterinary import permit is a health certificate from the exporting country. Import permits for veterinary samples issued by DVS are decentralised and can be issued at any veterinary district office where a state veterinary officer is available if the product is on the data base. For the importation any exotic samples that may not be on the data-base, the application will have to be referred to DVS HO Gaborone. |
