Consignments of ungulates other than equidae are allowed to enter the Union only if the animals in the consignment are individually marked before they are dispatched from the place of origin with a physical identifier that is permanently visible and easily legible
a)the animal's identification code, which creates an unambiguous connection between the animal and the accompanying animal health certificate;
b)the exporting country code according to ISO standard 3166 in the form of a two-letter code.
