New import service now available

Easier to use - more secure - access certificates

Register now

We announced in January 2024 that we have replaced the Special Import Scheme platform with a new Import Service for veterinary surgeons. We have done this to make the service easier to use, more secure and reliable and to meet accessibility legislation.


On 15 July 2024, we will be decommissioning the old online special import scheme service, and replacing if fully with our new digital service. If you are a UK practising veterinary surgeon and have yet to sign up to the new special imports digital service we strongly encourage you to register before 15 July. From 15 July, SIC applications can only be made using the new digital service.

This video shows you round the new service.


Some of the key benefits include:

  • easy to invite vets to practice accounts
  • multiple vets can be associated with one practice
  • vets can be associated with multiple practices
  • simplified forms and clearer questions
  • improved search function
  • mobile device friendly
  • save incomplete applications to finish later
  • certificates are stored for easy retrieval
