Breeding Cattle. USDA-Staged.

Feeder cattle moving from Alberta to Iowa processing facilities, breeding stock arriving from Angus operations in Australia. Every shipment needs APHIS veterinary health certificates, state entry permits, and a USDA-approved quarantine facility on standby.

We have active relationships with 23 USDA-approved quarantine facilities across the US border corridor.

International Show Circuit

Racehorses. JFK to Churchill Downs.

A Thoroughbred flying Dublin to New York needs a coggins test, an APHIS-endorsed health certificate, a CBP entry declaration, and a quarantine stall reserved at a USDA-approved facility before the plane lands. If one document is out of sequence, the horse sits on the tarmac.

Transit has cleared 4,200+ equine movements through JFK, LAX, and MIA in the past 36 months.

Zoo & Aquarium Acquisitions

Endangered Species. Three Treaties Deep.

A zoo acquiring a breeding pair of Amur leopards from a Russian facility needs a CITES Appendix I export permit, a USFWS import permit, CBP wildlife declaration, APHIS health certification, and potentially a state wildlife permit — all coordinated across agencies that operate on different timelines and have never spoken to each other.

We have processed 47 CITES Appendix I acquisitions — the most complex permit class in live animal trade.

Appendix I species require export permits from the origin country, import permits from the US, and in some cases, re-export certificates if the animal transits a third country. Most brokers have never filed a CITES Appendix I application.

Entry bonds, CBP Form 3461, wildlife declarations, and ACE Portal filing. Every live animal shipment needs a licensed customs broker on the US side — and that broker needs to know the difference between a livestock entry and a wildlife entry.
