Importing Dogs Tomorrow/Need Advice Please!

7 years ago
Hello all!
My family and I are now in Chetumal staying the night and hoping to cross the border tomorrow. We have been given some confusing information that conflicts with what we have been told. I am hoping someone can help us. In the meantime, I have also emailed the BAHA office with these questions too.

We have the APHIS form 7001 completed by our accredited USDA vet. The form is not endorsed as the USDA website now states as of March 2016, Belize no longer requires this. Has anyone heard otherwise? I have seen some stories saying that even though it says that, some of the BAHA officers still say it is and have had to pay them to get through. They also mentioned risking quarantine if it is not endorsed.

Also, does anyone know if the APHIS 7001 expires after 14 days? The website for BAHA says 14 but I have seen 7 and 10 and 30.

Any advice is appreciated!
