Camelids — including dromedary and Bactrian camels, llamas, alpacas, guanacos, and vicuñas — enter under a single 10-digit tariff line (0106130000) and are subject to USDA APHIS import regulations governing live animal health certification and quarantine. Canada is the dominant supplier to the US market, largely reflecting the established North American llama and alpaca breeding industry. Vicuñas are CITES-listed, so any shipment involving that species requires additional wildlife trade permits from US Fish & Wildlife Service. Importers should confirm species-level documentation early, as APHIS health requirements and CITES obligations differ significantly across camelid species.

No. Llamas and alpacas require USDA APHIS health certificates and may need import permits, but are not CITES-listed. Vicuñas, however, are listed under CITES Appendix I or II depending on population, requiring additional US Fish & Wildlife Service permits. Importers must confirm the species before preparing documentation.
USDA APHIS generally requires a veterinary health certificate from an accredited veterinarian in the exporting country, proof of negative test results for relevant diseases (such as tuberculosis), and advance notification to the port veterinarian. Specific requirements vary by species and country of origin.
