ARIZONA ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Effective 11/20/2025

Interstate Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (ICVI) which would normally be valid for 30 days will now only be valid for 5 days if the origin state has had an EHM / Equine Herpes Virus-1 (EHV-1) detection in the previous 30 days. Those seeking to import horses into Arizona should consult with their State Animal Health Official (origin state) to determine if their state has confirmed cases or not.

The CVI must include the following statements:

a. The equids examined and represented on this certificate have no signs of respiratory disease, fever or any other clinical signs that may be consistent with EHV.

b. The equids referenced on this certificate do not originate from a facility currently subject to movement restrictions due to EHV investigation or that would be considered dangerous contacts to potentially exposed or infected horses within the previous 21 days.

All current Extended Equine Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (EECVI) are cancelled and EECVI availability will be paused for the next 30 days at which time the EHV situation will be re-evaluated. In the interim, ICVI’s needed for movement purposes will be required as described above for importation www.agriculture.az.gov into Arizona. For Arizona origin equine exports going to other states, please contact the respective destination State Animal Health Official for current import requirements.
