Aphis Permit Requirements

May 8, 2023

Did you know if you will be receiving any of these pathogens, you might need a permit?

These pathogens are considered to be pathogenic to livestock/poultry by the USDA. These permits are required to be obtained only by the receiver (regardless of source or research). Permits are only required if the pathogen will be transported from another state (interstate) or internationally. If receiving from within the state, a permit is not required. These permits cost $150 and are good for 1 year.
