Last updated: August 2026 dataSheep imported live into the US serve both the specialty lamb meat market and purebred genetics programs, with a single 10-digit line (0104100000) covering all live sheep regardless of breed or intended use. Canada and the United Kingdom are the leading suppliers, with Canadian shipments benefiting from the integrated North American livestock corridor and UK animals often representing high-value genetics. USDA APHIS requires import permits and official health certificates, and scrapie status documentation is a standard admissibility requirement for all live sheep. Importers should confirm current APHIS country-of-origin health requirements, as disease alerts can affect eligibility on short notice.

USDA APHIS requires official documentation of the flock's scrapie status from the exporting country's competent authority. Depending on origin, this may include flock certification records, individual animal identification, and in some cases genotype test results. Requirements are updated periodically, so importers should verify current APHIS guidance before arranging shipment.
No. The US schedule consolidates all live sheep into a single 10-digit line (0104100000) without further subdivision by weight, age, sex, or breed. Classification is straightforward once species is confirmed, but importers must still satisfy all APHIS admissibility requirements regardless of the animal's characteristics.
