Import & Export Requirements

Idaho has species-specific importation requirements. Please use the information provided here to answer any questions you may have, but remember that you are responsible for being in compliance with Idaho's import requirements and you should always contact the Idaho State Department of Agriculture at (208) 332-8540 or (208) 332-8560 if there are any questions or you are unsure as to what is required for your specific situation. Because we know many veterinarians are not at a computer every time they need import requirements, we have also developed a brochure that summarizes the import information for each animal type.

 
Recent Events Impacting Imports into Idaho:
 

Effective April 2011 All bulls 12 months and older must be tested negative to Trichomoniasis no more than 30 days prior to entry into Idaho. Bulls under 12 months which are virgins may enter with a virgin bull statement on the CVI.

 

Effective May 2009 ISDA has regulations regarding EVA in horses. All intact male equines will require one of the following statements be recorded next to their name and description on their Certificate of Veterinary Inspection:

"Vaccinated for EVA"
     A copy of the animal's test and vaccination certificate needs to      be attached.
"Seropositive Carrier of EVA"
     The test date needs to be recorded on the CVI.
"Seropositive Non-shedder of EVA"
      A copy of the negative semen EVA virus isolation test result      needs to be attached to the CVI.
"Unknown EVA Status"

Equine semen may be imported with one of these statements, regarding the stallion it came from, attached to the shipment.
 

In September 2008 California was changed by USDA to Tuberculosis Modified Accredited Advanced states. Please call for entry requirements.

 

 
**California and Michigan have different requirements for Bovine species than those listed on the Cattle page, due to their Tuberculosis , Brucellosis and/or other disease status. If you are sending cattle from any of these states, always call ISDA before the cattle leave your state.
