I am in the process of importing semen. I am located in the US. I have contacted the usda cdc and customs department. I can not get a clear answer on all tests and paperwork needed to clear customs. I have been told there are no restrictions but i still feel that they need to clear some tests. I have searched online and have found many requirements for other countries. Why isnt this information readily available. Has anyone successfuly imported amd transferred semen into the usa? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Contact your breed club, it is very common to import semen to USA, I am sure there will be other breeders in yoru breed who can advise.

This is a company in the UK who deal with frozen semen - they might be able to help with your importation requirements?

Here is another, from a US import angle -

I'd imagine the people who are providing you with the semen you want, should be more than able to help you through all this?

It is really easy, the ai clinic in Uk will do all the necessary forms to import to your ai clinic. The hard part is the AKC. you will need to obtain a dna swab to send to owner of stud dog. it costs $50.00. That registers the dna with the AKC, you will also need a signed statement from stud dog owner stating he sold x amount of matings to you from xx dog, date of birth UK KC reg name and number and microchip number for x amount on date and signed. We are from the UK living in USA for last three years and have imported semen each year.
