Healthy Dog Importation Act

This bill establishes new health and documentation requirements for importing live dogs into the U.S. It requires all imported dogs to be vaccinated, parasite-free, properly identified, and accompanied by a certificate from an accredited veterinarian. Importers must submit electronic documentation before arrival, and dogs imported for transfer (like adoption or sale) must be at least 6 months old. Exceptions exist for research, veterinary treatment, or Hawaii-specific cases where dogs stay within the state. Violations could trigger fines, quarantine, or removal of dogs.
