Animal Health and Safety Are Our Priority
Like any other group of people, Americans love their furry friends. Nonetheless, importing live animals (whether they be pets or livestock) into the country is no easy task to undertake. There are a total of FOUR federal agencies that all share some degree of responsibility for animal imports.
These agencies include:
· Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
∙ Customs Border Protection (CBP)
∙ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
∙ Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)
Know What The Risks Are
Be part of the solution by consulting with an experienced Customs Broker.
Educating yourself and staying up to date with regulations from four federal agencies that could change anytime isn’t easy.

Your Actions Could Cost Up To $2,500 in Fines
Did you know that a pet that’s denied entry into the U.S. is sent back to the country of origin and cared for at the owner’s expense? A commercial importer risks losing their license, $2,500 in fines, and up to a year of imprisonment for failure to stay within regulations.
Keeping You Up-to-Date on the Animal Kingdom
Many of the regulations surrounding the importation of animals are to ensure that the animals you’re importing are healthy.
