Tools are available on some regulatory websites to aid in deciding if a permit is required:

  • CDC IPP Do I need a permit?
  • USDA/APHIS Do I need a permit?
    • See sections "What's New?", "Do I need an OV permit?", and "VS-regulated livestock and poultry pathogens", "Guidelines for No Import Permit Required", and "Guideline 1125: Guideline for No Interstate Transport Permit Required". 

The permit requirements and process can be confusing but EHS Biosafety can help. Contact EHS for additional assistance.
