The health certificate must be signed in a color different from the text. This holds true for both the USDA accredited veterinarian's signature and the federal veterinarian's signature.
Other Information
Austria is a member State of the European Union (EU). Health certificates must be issued and endorsed in German, the native language of Austria.
Cattle The importation of cattle from the United States to Austria is prohibited due to the presence of bluetongue in the United States.

Sheep and Goats The importation of sheep and goats from the United States to Austria is prohibited due to the presence of bluetongue in the United States.
For species not listed, the requirements are not known. However, exporters wanting to ship livestock or germplasm whose requirements are not listed in the IRRS, should have the interested party (importer/buyer) in the country of destination apply for an Import Permit at the appropriate ministry. This Import Permit will most likely outline the specific requirements.
