How do you bring horses across the Mexican border?

Question

Wondering what has to be done to bring a horse into the US from Mexico. Is there medical checks that must be done? Paper work? What would they ask me for at the border crossing if I had a horse in a trailer?

And if you don't know, could you tell me where to go to find out this information? Who would I ask?

Answer 1

The US customs website says this

Live Animals and Birds

Live animals and birds may enter the United States subject to certification, certain permits, inspection, and quarantine rules that vary greatly with the type of animal and its origin. Pet birds purchased abroad for personal use may enter, subject to restrictions by some state departments of agriculture.

For general information and permit application, contact APHIS/ NCIE at 301-734-7830 or. In addition, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regulates importation of certain animal species. Importation of animals for scientific or exhibition purposes is strictly controlled through a registration process. Contact the CDC in Atlanta, GA., at 404-639-8107 or visit National Center for Infectious Diseases - Traveler's Health ( NCID ) for detailed information.
