These requirements go into effect on August 1, 2024.
Note: If the pet is returning from a rabies high-risk country, the USDA-endorsed export health certificate (IHC) issued before July 31, 2025, can be shown instead of the Certification of US.-issued Rabies Vaccination form during the CDC’s transition period. The rabies vaccination must be valid upon re-entry into the US, or the form is invalid.
