<p>The Animal and Plant Health Agency does not hold data on the country of origin
for non-commercial pets moving into the United Kingdom, and therefore this answer
relates solely to dogs imported from Russia commercially. The commercial importation
requirements apply to dogs, cats and ferrets who:</p><p> </p><ul><li>Travel in groups
of more than five (unless travelling with a specific exemption for sports shows or
training)</li><li>Travel more than five days before or after their owner or authorised
person</li><li>Are being moved for the transference of ownership (including rescue
animals being rehomed) or for sale</li></ul><p> </p><p>In 2018, 60 dogs were imported
commercially into the United Kingdom from Russia and in 2019, 70 dogs were moved in
this way. We do not currently have figures for the number of dogs commercially imported
from Russia to the United Kingdom in 2020.</p>
