Exotic Animal Import Requirements
All exotic or wild animals require a certificate of veterinary inspection (CVI) and an entry permit. Any animals listed on our illegal animals page will only be issued a permit to go to approved facilities. Exhibitors must be federally licensed to exhibit wild animals. Permits can be obtained by veterinarians by calling 360-902-1878 during business hours or 1-800-902-1035 after hours.
Many species of exotic and wild animals also require negative test results before entry. Please visit our testing requirements page to see a complete list of requirements.
