Import Tips
• File APHIS VS 16-3 import health certificate at least 10 days prior; include vaccination records against common bovine diseases
• Budget for port-of-entry inspections and potential veterinary fees; non-compliance results in refusal or euthanasia
• Label shipments clearly as 'live bison' to expedite customs processing and avoid generic livestock delays
