Import Tips
• Secure an import permit from USDA APHIS prior to shipment and ensure CVI includes rabies vaccination if over 3 months old
• Prepare for 30-60 day quarantine at an APHIS-approved facility to screen for diseases like glanders or CEM
• Document end use clearly to prevent reclassification; working animals stay in 'other' while breeding stock moves to purebred headings
