PIF export scheme moves to trial phase
 

Following several months of due diligence, the Pet Industry Federation’s export scheme is now ready to move to a trial phase. 

 

The PIF team has been working to devise a scheme which enables manufacturers and suppliers to export pallets to the EU in a cost effective way.

 

The PIF scheme will enable consolidation of pallets at a nominated DHL warehouse in the UK from where they will be exported into the EU.

 

PIF CEO, Nigel Baker, commented: “Since Brexit we have consistently heard how difficult export of products containing animal protein has become for pet businesses so the team here at PIF has been determined to find a workable, cost-effective solution. We’re delighted to now be in a position to run a trial phase and I encourage everyone who is interested in taking part to put forward their expression of interest.”

The trial phase is open to all pet businesses however once the final scheme is launched it will be specifically for PIF members.
