U.S. Import of horses (CDN. to US Exports) new e-filing requirements “PAPS” (Pre-Arrival Processing System)
All owners, trainers, competitors and riders intending to take horses to the United States should be aware that there are now two sets of revised U.S. import requirements that may impact the ease with which horses cross the border from Canada to the United States. New regulations are now in effect, implementing the US Trade Act of 2002, and the Public Health Security and Bio-terrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002. These regulations require pre-filing of customs documents in advance of border crossing at a U.S. port-of-entry.
Note: A copy of the PAPS requirements suitable for printing is available here [PDF Document]
