Import Tips
• Provide sire health records and negative tests for BVD, IBR, and trichomoniasis to expedite customs clearance
• Use insulated shippers with data loggers; temperature excursions above -196°C void certification
• Label packages with dose count, bull ID, and collection date to match import permit details
