Import Tips
• Obtain a USDA VS 17-29 Import Health Certificate from the exporting country verifying the animal is free from contagious diseases like MERS-CoV
• Arrange for quarantine upon arrival at a USDA-approved facility, typically 30-60 days, and pre-arrange with APHIS for inspection
• Avoid common pitfalls like incomplete CITES permits if from CITES-listed regions; ensure foals are over 6 months for easier classification
