Crossing the US/Canada Border

When crossing the international border north or south bound there are strict rules that must be adhered to:

Horses need to be brokered across the International line when they are on a Commercial Carrier. We can provide you information on Brokers to contact.

ALL HORSES MUST HAVE A CURRENT (WITHIN 6 MONTHS) COGGINS AND AN INTERNATIONAL HEALTH CERTIFICATE.

From time to time there are changes to statements that must be included on the international health form. The USDA office local to the area where the horse is should have all information pertaining to what is required when shipping the horse Northbound into Canada.

Border Vet Fees apply when horses are travelling into the USA either permanently or for a stay over 30 days. Fee is $44.00 USD

Horses that have not been in the USA (Foreign Imports) must also see a Canadian vet upon entering Canada at the border.

All Medications must be marked clearly with horses name and prescribing vets name. The office must be notified in writing of what meds the horse is on and what the dosage is.

All tack boxes must be able to be opened if customs wants to look inside and have a complete listing of the entire contents.
