U.S. Ports of Entry for Horses, Including Equine Semen and Embryos
Due to the dynamic nature of security requirements and inspection personnel you *MUST* contact the port at least *3 business days prior to crossing*. Each port may have its own additional requirements - contact them for the latest information.
Check with the border port to determine if they require the importer to use an authorized customs broker.
