| After hours Import Permits |
|
Oregon law (ORS 596.341(2)) requires an Import Permit for most animals entering the state. To help practitioners meet this requirement, a machine answers the permit phone (503-986-4679) after hours (after 5 pm to 8 am during the week and all day weekends and holidays).
After the brief explanatory recording, you will be given a shipping number and asked to record
- the name of veterinarian and the clinic phone number;
- the kind of animal(s) you are shipping: cattle, horses, etc.
- the name, phone number, and address of shipper and the animals destination; and
- the serial number of your Certificate of Veterinary Inspection. This is usually in the upper right hand corner of the certificate.
The animals can be shipped immediately. Please call between 9 am and noon Pacific time, on the next regular working day to complete the Import Permit. (We are closed for the usual national holidays.)
Thank you.

Just visiting? Here are the Exit requirements
Oregon law requires ownership inspection (´brand inspection´) for all cattle and horses leaving the state, even those "just visiting" for a short time.
If you bring cattle into Oregon for show or breeding or any other "non-permanent" reason, you must have an ownership inspection before leaving Oregon.
Ownership inspection (sometimes called "Brand Inspection") is required by Oregon law for all cattle (and equidae) leaving the state. This applies whether the animals are branded or not. The purpose is to make sure the cattle are owned by or in the lawful possession of the person presenting the livestock for inspection.
Call the Livestock ID office at 503-986-4681 for the name and phone number of the Brand Inspector nearest your location. Please schedule inspections at least 24 hours in advance .
