Import Tips
• Cross-check bull registration status; non-purebred avoids 0511.10.0060 but still needs VS 16-3 endorsement
• Ship in validated LN2 dewars with 21+ day hold time; declare gross weight accurately
• Avoid common pitfall of incomplete semen extension media disclosure, which flags biosecurity review
