To enter Oregon, most vertebrate animals must have:
  • a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (abbreviated CVI, sometimes incorrectly called a ´health certificate´) issued less than 30 days prior to entry (less than 15 days for swine) - and -
  • an import permit issued by this office. For a permit, call 503-986-4680. Staff is available Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Pacific time. After hours an automated system answers the permit line, records minimal information about the shipment, and issues a shipping permit number. Clinic staff must call the next regular working day to complete the import permit
  • tests or vaccinations may be required.

Legibility counts on official documents.   It is important to print or type both the veterinarian's name and the full clinic name & address on all official documents: CVIs, test charts, vaccination reports, etc. If there's a question or problem and the clinic information is incomplete and we can't decipher the doctor's highly stylized signature, we don't know who to contact. A rubber stamp is OK for clinic information, but not for signatures
