Import Tips

Secure CITES export/import permits as wood bison are protected; coordinate with USFWS for endangered species declarations

Provide detailed pedigree and DNA verification to confirm pure bison status, preventing misclassification as generic bovines

Plan for mandatory 30-day quarantine at a USDA-approved facility upon arrival to screen for brucellosis and tuberculosis
