Import Tips
• Provide proof of breeding purpose such as pedigree records or buyer contracts to justify classification
• Ensure pre-import testing for brucellosis and tuberculosis; U.S. requires negative tests within 30 days of shipment
• Use bonded carriers for transport; watch for reclassification if animal appears meat-production oriented
