Documentation for dogs imported for resale into the United States from countries with
African swine fever must be completed and submitted to APHIS Veterinary Services via email
to [email protected] within 2 business days following the dogs’ arrival.
Dear Importer:
Thank you for your recent import permit application requesting permission from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to import
dog(s) for resale into the United States. Dogs for resale include any transfer of ownership or
control of an imported dog at least 6 months of age to another person. Your application,
submitted to APHIS’ Animal Care program, indicates the dog(s) are coming from a country
affected by African swine fever (ASF). As a result, you must meet Animal Care’s requirements
along with the requirements established by APHIS’ Veterinary Services program to prevent the
introduction of disease.
To comply with Veterinary Services’ requirements, the shipment of dog(s) must meet the
following conditions:
 The dog(s) and their shipping crate/container must be free of dirt, wood shavings, hay,
straw, or any other organic/natural bedding material.
 All bedding that accompanies the dog(s) during transit must be properly disposed of at
the U.S. post-entry point(s) of concentration.
 Each dog must have an ISO compliant microchip implanted, and the individual microchip
number must be verified immediately before each animal is bathed.
 Each dog must be bathed at the U.S. post-entry point(s) of concentration within 2
calendar days of arrival in the United States. Bathing must be documented in Part 2 of
the attached Veterinary Services Dog Import Record.
The attached “Veterinary Services Dog Import Record” must be completed and submitted
with a copy of the associated Animal Care import permit via email to
[email protected] within 2 business days of the dog(s)’ entry into the
United States.
If you have any questions about Veterinary Services’ requirements, please contact the VS Live
Animal Import Team before the dog(s) leave the country of origin.
