Vaccines for Veterinary Medicine

Veterinary vaccines imported into the US are regulated by USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) under the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act, which requires that the foreign manufacturer hold a valid USDA license or that the product be covered by an import permit before entry. Spain leads US supply under this heading, followed by Canada and New Zealand — a supplier mix that spans both large-scale European manufacturers and Southern Hemisphere producers serving livestock-intensive industries. All imports clear under a single tariff line (3002420000), but APHIS review, product licensing, and label approval requirements make pre-import coordination with USDA essential. Canada's participation as a leading supplier means USMCA may be relevant to duty treatment for qualifying shipments.
