APHD to accept only Online Payments from March 31, 2024 for its TTBizLink Applications
The Animal Production and Health Division (APHD), Ministry of Agriculture, Land and Fisheries (MALF) advises that as of March 31,
2024 only Online Payments for its TTBizLink Applications will be accepted. Such payments can be made using either a Credit Card or
a Debit Card as has been customary for the pilot project, which was implemented in collaboration with the TTBizLink Team, Ministry
of Trade and Industry (MTI), and which has been on-going since September 25, 2023. APHD’s Online Payment will apply to the
following three (3) TTBizLink applications: (1) Animal Import Permit; (2) Animal Export Permit – Dairy and Dairy Products; and (3)
Animal Export Permit – Meat and Poultry Products. Use of Online Payments has enhanced the overall efficiency of permit processing,
as applicants will no longer have to return to the application after submission to make a payment. The APHD will continue to
honour all outstanding drawdown balances. However, once the balance is exhausted, only Online Payments will be accepted.
Consequently, APHD asks that all clients put the relevant arrangements in place to facilitate the Online Payments. For further
information, please be in touch with the APHD at 625-5997. You may also be in touch with the TTBizLink Help Desk by calling
465-7649, 474-7802, 465-7658 or the toll-free number at 800-4739. The Help Desk is operational Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to
4:00 p.m. Alternatively you can send an e-mail to support.ttbizlink@gov.tt with the relevant details.
