Import Tips
• Obtain USDA VS import permit and health certificate verifying disease-free status from origin country
• Comply with avian influenza testing requirements; declare exact age and weight to avoid reclassification
• Use APHIS-approved quarantine facilities if required; common pitfall is incomplete veterinary documentation
