Import Tips
• Declare exact age, weight, and sex on entry docs; discrepancies lead to penalties under bovine import rules
• Use IATA-approved crates for air shipment or ventilated trucks for land; temperature control is critical to prevent stress mortality
• Check state-level import restrictions, as some U.S. states ban bison due to disease risks like chronic wasting disease
