Poland's own list of third-country pet certificates still shows a Brazil model dated 2017, but Brazil has required a specific CVI model since 6 September 2025. Ask your District Veterinary Officer which model they will issue. Brazil asks for no import permit for dogs and cats. Compliant pets skip quarantine too.

What does Poland require before your pet leaves?
- Export health certificate: The District Veterinary Officer (Powiatowy Lekarz Weterynarii) issues health certificates for pets going to third countries, based on a veterinary examination certificate from any private clinic issued within 48 hours and proof of current rabies vaccination; some countries (e.g. Australia, Japan, South Africa) require certificates on their own forms plus a pre-export certificate; where a destination has new requirements the owner gives the District Veterinary Officer the certificate that country requires, with a sworn translation into Polish, and the officer issues it on that form (Warsaw District Veterinary Inspectorate, page dated 2 December 2021). GIW publishes bilateral certificate models for Brazil, Mexico and Ukraine. Applies to dogs and cats leaving for non-EU countries.

Opłaty skarbowe, checked 1 October 2026Official sources differ
Date conflict: the Warsaw District Veterinary Inspectorate page (https://www.wawa.piw.gov.pl/oplaty-skarbowe/) calls it 'Rozporządzeniem MRiRW z dnia 7 kwietnia 2026 r.' (Dz.U. z 2026 r. poz. 472), while the GIW fees page says 27 March 2026. The official gazette entry (https://dziennikustaw.gov.pl/DU/2026/472) reads 'Rozporządzenie Ministra Rolnictwa i Rozwoju Wsi z dnia 27 marca 2026 r.' with 'Data ogłoszenia: 2026-04-07'. So 27 March 2026 is the regulation date and 7 April 2026 is its publication date; the Warsaw page gives the publication date.
