Purebred breeding swine enter the US under a single 10-digit line (0103100000) and are subject to USDA APHIS import permits, health certification, and quarantine at an approved swine import facility. The Netherlands and Denmark are the leading suppliers, reflecting the dominance of European genetics — particularly Landrace, Yorkshire, and Duroc lines — in global commercial swine breeding programs. Importers must comply with APHIS requirements addressing pseudorabies, swine brucellosis, and other reportable diseases, with testing protocols that vary by country of origin. Given the concentration of supply in a small number of European sources, disease outbreaks in those countries can significantly disrupt US access to elite breeding stock.

APHIS requires pre-export testing for pseudorabies (Aujeszky's disease) and swine brucellosis at minimum, along with a health certificate issued by an accredited government veterinarian. Additional testing for African swine fever or other reportable diseases may be required depending on current disease status in the exporting country. Requirements can change rapidly in response to disease events, so importers should verify current APHIS conditions well before shipment.
Purebred status is typically supported by breed-registry certificates from a recognized national swine association (such as a national Landrace or Yorkshire registry), pedigree documentation, and commercial invoices explicitly describing the animals as purebred breeding stock. CBP may request these supporting documents at entry, and misclassification as commercial swine could result in reclassification and additional duties.
