Shipping Animals, Plants, or Animal Products

There are basic guidelines to be followed when shipping animals. The guidelines for shipping animals internationally can vary because each country has their own regulations to follow. Amerijet can help you understand the country specific requirements and ensure that all imports and export regulations are followed when shipping animals or animal products and plants.

Basic Requirements for Shipping Animals

Common requirements that apply to any shipment, domestic or international, of animals include (but are not limited to-)

• You will need a health certificate for any animals being shipped. You can acquire a health certificate from a veterinarian, and this must be stamped by the United Stated Department of Agriculture within the time limit specified by the regulations according to the country you are shipping the animal to.

• You will need an Import Permit for any animals you are shipping into the country

• An Approval by the Agricultural authority in the destination country is required for animal shipments
