Import Tips
• Obtain a USDA veterinary import permit and health certificate confirming disease-free status from origin country
• Arrange quarantine at approved facilities upon arrival to meet APHIS requirements and avoid delays
• Verify weight documentation at export to confirm classification in 90-200 kg range; misweighting leads to reclassification
