How do I legally transport animals across state lines?
user
Transporting animals across state lines requires getting a health certificate from a qualified veterinarian, obtaining the necessary licenses and permits, researching regulations relevant to the species of animal being transported, making sure all vehicles used for transport comply with federal safety standards, and providing proof of ownerships. Additionally, if the Animal is considered a “live animal” by USDA standards (e.g., rodents), an Interstate Animal Transportation Certificate (ICAT) will also be needed. For international travel, additional permits may be required from the Country of Destination.
