Import Tips
• Secure an import permit from USDA APHIS prior to shipment and provide proof of rabies vaccination
• Declare the ferret's age and neuter status if applicable, as some states have restrictions on intact animals
• Use IATA-approved crates for air transport to meet animal welfare standards during import
