USDA established APHIS on April 2, 1972, as its lead agency for safeguarding the health of American agriculture. Did You Know? APHIS' Plant Protection and Quarantine got our current name in 1974 after APHIS created the Agricultural Quarantine Inspection program.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services (VS) regulates the importation of animals and animal-derived materials to ensure that exotic animal and poultry diseases are not introduced into the United States.

You must then submit the completed certificates to the USDA office in Sacramento and El Segundo, CA. Processing time usually takes 1 to 3 business days. When the certificate is finalized, you can either pick it up in person or it can be mailed to your address overnight.

Adult apterae of Aphis agastachyos (see picture below of adult aptera with immatures) are oval shiny dark green, with no dorsal abdominal sclerotization. Their antennae are evenly pale or with darker apices, 0.5-0.6 times the body length.

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) protects the health of U.S. agriculture and natural resources against invasive pests and diseases, regulates genetically engineered crops, administers the Animal Welfare Act, and helps people and wildlife coexist.

As our name suggests, APHIS' work centers around animal and plant health, but our programs also address animal welfare, biotechnology, wildlife damage management, and global trade. Although APHIS may not be a household name, our efforts are seen and felt both far and wide.

Health certificates are issued (completed, signed, and dated) by veterinarians who examine your pet and perform (or verify) all required testing, vaccinations, or treatments. If your destination country needs USDA APHIS to endorse the health certificate, then your pet's veterinarian must be USDA-Accredited.
