Ukraine: Ukraine and the US Update Pet Food Protocol
On February 27, 2026, Ukraine's State Service for Food Safety and Consumer Protection and USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service negotiated important changes to the Veterinary Certificate for Pet Food Exported into Ukraine from the United States of America. The earlier version of the certificate was negotiated in 2018 and included excessive testing requirements, resulting in a nearly 75 percent drop in export volume from 2019 to 2025. A more liberal trade regime will return U.S. products to the market and provide a level playing field with other suppliers.
