How to Start an Export Business for Veterinary Products

Starting an export business for veterinary products can be highly rewarding, especially in today’s global market where demand for animal healthcare and wellness products is rapidly increasing. Countries around the world are becoming more conscious of livestock productivity and pet healthcare, fueling the need for reliable veterinary medicines, feed supplements, herbal remedies, and immunity boosters.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, veterinary pharma company, or distributor looking to enter international markets, here is a detailed guide to help you successfully set up and scale your veterinary product export business.


1. Research Target Markets

The first and most critical step in starting a veterinary export business is identifying the right markets. Each country has distinct needs depending on its climate, agriculture, livestock patterns, and pet care trends. Some nations may have a high demand for cattle dewormers, while others may focus more on pet health supplements or poultry feed.

You should begin by:

  • Analyzing animal population trends in the region
  • Studying import statistics and existing veterinary product demands
  • Evaluating competitors and their product offerings
  • Understanding local consumer preferences (herbal vs. synthetic, dosage forms, etc.)

At Zovix Pharmaceuticals, we help our partners analyze market trends, lifestyle patterns, and veterinary product requirements in target countries. This ensures that exporters make informed decisions, especially when it comes to entering regulated and high-demand markets.


2. Understand Export Regulations and Certifications

Every country has its own import regulations and certification standards for veterinary products. You must carefully review:

  • Country-specific rules for animal health products
  • Import requirements for drugs, feed supplements, and herbal products
  • Required certifications like GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and ISO
  • Need for product registration or prior approval

For instance, exporting a herbal spray might require fewer documents than an injectable veterinary drug, which may need clinical data and safety studies.

Zovix Pharma operates from a WHO-GMP-certified facility and ensures that every product meets international quality and safety norms. Our team also assists partners in managing the entire regulatory and documentation process for seamless export compliance.

3. Build a Targeted Product Portfolio

Different countries have unique needs when it comes to animal healthcare products. Your export product line should cater to those specific demands. For example:

  • Immunity-boosting tonics for tropical regions
  • Dewormers and boluses for dairy cattle in South Asia
  • Organic pet supplements for the European market

Packaging and labeling must also meet the local language and measurement standards. In some countries, product labels are required in the native language and should include dosage, batch details, and manufacturing information clearly.

Zovix Pharma supports customized labeling and packaging solutions for exports. Whether you need multi-language labels, different bottle sizes, or region-specific formulations, we’ve got you covered.

4. Prepare Export Documentation

Proper documentation is the backbone of any export business. Missing or incorrect paperwork can result in delays, penalties, or rejections at customs.

Ensure you have the following for every shipment:

  • Commercial Invoice
  • Packing List
  • Certificate of Origin
  • Certificate of Analysis (COA)
  • Health and Safety Certificates
  • Bill of Lading or Airway Bill

Each product should be tested and backed by reports from ISO-certified laboratories, and approvals must be validated for the destination country.

5. Manage Logistics and Supply Chain

Efficient logistics can significantly reduce lead time and cost. Decide your preferred mode of transport based on product type, destination, and budget:

  • Air freight for quick delivery of light or urgent products
  • Sea freight for heavy or bulk shipments
  • Road freight for neighboring countries

Some veterinary products like probiotics or injectables may require temperature-controlled shipping. Partner with a logistics company experienced in pharmaceutical exports to handle packing, storage, and cross-border regulations.

Also consider working with a licensed customs broker to handle clearance and avoid shipment delays.


6. Secure Financing and Manage Risk

Starting an export business involves upfront investments in inventory, packaging, regulatory filings, and logistics. It’s essential to explore financing options:

  • Export loans from banks
  • Government subsidies for exporters
  • Foreign buyer credit assessments
  • Export insurance for mitigating risks

The Government of India offers schemes like Interest Equalization Scheme (IES) and Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) to help exporters lower financial burdens.

Also, take precautions against:

  • Currency fluctuations
  • Unverified buyers
  • Low-profit margin deals

7. Monitor Changing Regulations

Global veterinary regulations are constantly evolving. Stay updated on:

  • Bans on antibiotic-based supplements
  • Labeling changes (like QR codes, traceability)
  • Evolving documentation rules
  • Competitor strategies and price fluctuations

At Zovix, our team stays in touch with international veterinary policy changes and keeps our partners informed. We regularly update product formulations to meet global trends like herbal, organic, and sustainable veterinary products.
