Import Tips
• Verify export from approved regions free of rabbit calicivirus; require VS 16-4 endorsement
• Budget for post-entry quarantine; pitfall is underestimating feed costs during hold periods
• Label shipments clearly as 'live breeding rabbits for agriculture' to avoid pet misclassification
