What is Health Certificate for Live Fish Export from Thailand?
Health certificate is an official document issued by Department of Fisheries Thailand (DOF). It certifies that live ornamental fish are healthy, from registered farm, and safe for export. Every air cargo shipment of live fish from Thailand must have health certificate. Airline will not accept cargo without it. Destination country customs will hold shipment without it.
How AquaBridge Thailand Handles Health Certificate - Real Operations
At AquaBridge Thailand, Bangkok - Thailand, we are a consolidation and export service. We handle health certificate for you.
Registered Farms Only: We buy from DOF registered farms only. We collect farm registration, species list, and quantity for health certificate application.
DOF Inspection: DOF officer inspects fish at our facility. We do 48-hour conditioning before inspection to ensure fish are healthy and low ammonia.
One Health Certificate Per Shipment: We combine multi-farm orders into one fully documented shipment. One health certificate covers all farms in one AWB. This saves cost and time. If you use 5 farms, you still have one health certificate and one real house AWB.
Processing Time: Health certificate processing takes 1-2 working days. We apply 2 days before flight. For urgent export, we can do 1 day with extra fee.
Cost Included: Our service fee includes health certificate handling. No hidden cost. You pay farm cost + packing + freight + documents.
What Documents Do You Need for Export?
Health Certificate: Required for all countries. Issued by DOF.
CITES Permit: Required for CITES species like Arowana, some Stingray, and endangered species. Takes 7-15 days.
Invoice and Packing List: We prepare for you.
Real House AWB: We issue real house AWB, not shared AWB, for faster handling and low mortality.
Common Problems We Avoid
Wrong Species Name: DOF requires scientific name. We use correct scientific name to avoid customs delay. Example: Betta splendens, not just Betta.
Unregistered Farm: If farm is not DOF registered, DOF will not issue health certificate. We check farm registration before buying.
Expired Certificate: Health certificate is valid for 10 days. We issue close to flight date to avoid expiry during transit.
We provide copy of health certificate and AWB before flight departs. We also provide video of packing for every box. Service only.
