Importation of Pets and Other Animals into the United States
General Information: Pet and animal importation to the United States is subject
to health, quarantine, agriculture, wildlife, and customs requirements and
prohibitions that can be difficult to understand and execute. The "Importation
of Pets and Other Animals" Information Manual was developed to help you
understand the process individuals go through to bring
an animal into the United States. The information package explains in detail how to import
dogs, cats, birds, horses, turtles, and many others pets and exotic animals. It provides the
necessary background information about federal, state, and territorial
regulations in addition to how to transport your pet, where and how to
quarantine. It also lists embargoes on certain pets and port contacts.
An individual who imports an animal into the United States is responsible for his
or her own visa (if not a U.S.-resident or citizen) as well as all necessary documentations for the animal.
The "Importation of Pets
and Other Animals" Information Manual provides only information about the process of
importing an animal into the United States. It does not contain visa information
for the pet owner. Please visit other sections of this website for information
on entry requirements and visas. Note that
both the pet/animal and the foreign national must have the necessary documentation approved prior to
entering the United States.
