The US Authorities have issued a list of countries and political units considered high risk for importing dog rabies into the United States.

Starting July 14, 2021, there is a temporary one-year suspension, which prohibits the entry of dogs into the United States arriving from the countries in this list. This includes if you took your dog from the US to any of these countries and then try to return.

On an extremely limited basis, CDC has the authority to issue advance written approval (CDC Dog Import Permit) to bring a dog from a high-risk country. Dogs that arrive from high-risk countries without advance written approval from CDC will be denied entry and returned to the country of departure at the importer’s expense.
