Export: Take your pet from the United States to a foreign country.
The United States has minimal requirements for animals to be
exported to other countries. (However, please be advised that there
may be certain re-entry requirements if you plan to return to the
United States with your pet.) If you are taking your pet out of the
United States to another country, whether permanently or for a visit,
you should do the following:
Import: Bring your pet into the United States from a foreign country.
- Cats and Dogs
- Pet Birds
- Fish: There are restrictions for koi and goldfish based on spring viremia of carp and for other fish species that are susceptible to viral hemorrhagic septicemia.
- Other Animals: APHIS generally does not have
animal health requirements for the importation of other non-livestock
animal species, such as rodents or carnivores, provided they have
not been inoculated with any pathogens for scientific or other
purposes. Animals inoculated with pathogens for scientific or other
purposes must be accompanied by an import permit (VS application form 16-3). In addition, APHIS does not regulate the import of most reptiles, but there are exceptions.
Other government entities regulate the import of pets into the
United States in certain circumstances and should be contacted.
