Common Veterinary Entry Document
The Common Veterinary Entry Document (CVED) was the official document used in all member states of the European Union (EU) to pre-notify the arrival of consignments of live animals (excluding pets), animal products, and products of animal origin intended for import into or transit through the EU from third countries. Introduced in 2004, the CVED was replaced by the Common Health Entry Document (CHED) on 14 December 2019 under Regulation (EU) 2017/625.
