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
