# Do not let an external alert leave your orders without a destination.

## The problem does not stay in one department. It reaches production

- **Export destinations**: Each product, origin and destination has its own conditions to check.
- **Ingredients and suppliers**: An alert at origin leaves you no alternative and no lead time.
- **Orders by market**: One batch faces different requirements and dates by destination.

## Your perimeter

- Products
- Destinations
- Certificates
- Orders

## From the sanitary alert to the order awaiting shipment

African swine fever confirmed in wild boar in Catalonia (Spanish Ministry of Agriculture · 28 Nov 2025)

- Sanitary and export conditions are reviewed (Conditions vary by product, origin and destination)
- Orders at a hypothetical exporter (Hypothetical company · link to verify)

What to check:

- Official conditions for each destination
- Certificates, products and open orders

## African swine fever: a third of export certificates blocked in one day

On 28 November 2025 two wild boar tested positive near Barcelona, Spain's first case since 1994. The same day certificates to dozens of countries were blocked; some markets accepted regionalisation within days, others are still closed ten months later.
