Import permits

It is the responsibility of the participants to check with their customs authority if an import permit is required for them to import Vetqas PT samples. If a permit is required, we must receive a valid copy of the permit before the scheduled distribution date. Please note that if we have been notified that a permit is required, but we do not receive it in time for the scheduled distribution date. The samples will not be shipped and there will be no refund.

Distribution dates

If we have to change any of these dates during the year we will contact all participants that are affected.
