Import Tips
• Obtain a USDA VS 17-29 Import Health Certificate verifying the animals are free from contagious diseases like BSE and foot-and-mouth
• Arrange for quarantine upon arrival at approved facilities; failure to comply results in immediate destruction or re-export
• Verify eartags and RFID compliance with APHIS standards to avoid customs delays
