Import Tips
• Obtain a USDA veterinary import permit and health certificate from the exporting country confirming disease-free status
• Arrange quarantine at a USDA-approved facility upon arrival to prevent introduction of diseases like African horse sickness
• Verify purebred status documentation, as animal certificate of pure breeding is obsolete; consult CBP for alternatives
