Det har ju alltid varit ett bekymmer när man importerar hund från USA för att deras microchip inte är av samma sort som våra.
Man har varit tvungen att själv tillhandahålla rätt sorts scanner när hunden ska in över gränsen till Sverige.
Men i framtiden behöver vi inte bekymra oss, USA går nu över till samma sorts chip som vi har i Sverige.
Visserligen innebär det stora problem i många år framöver i USA. Om inte polis, veterinärer, rescues o pounds skaffar in båda sorternas scanner så blir det svårt att kunna kolla id på alla hundar.
En del pratar om att chipa hundarna med 2 chip för att vara på den säkra sidan.
Men för oss i Sverige så underlättar det vid importer i framtiden.

/ [Monday, February 23, 2009] /
A new directive regarding transporting live animals into/through the
United States has been put into effect by the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA). Effective February 1, 2009, the directive requires
that all animals, including dogs, coming into the United States booked
as manifest cargo must be tendered at their [foreign] origin airport by
a ”Regulated Agent” or ”IATA-Approved Agent”.
*Parties not affected include:*
* *People (breeders, owners, etc.) shipping their pets as cargo
within the US.*
* *People traveling with their pets as excess luggage or in-cabin
within the US.*
* *People traveling with their pets as excess luggage or in-cabin
into the US.*
Affected parties include:
* People shipping pets as cargo overseas/across the US border.
* Individuals living overseas who want to send their pets back to
the US as cargo.
These affected parties must now use the services of a
registered/licensed shipping/cargo/freight agent or broker. Such agents
are easy-to-find, as there are usually a number of them near major
airports.
As always, individuals flying with a dog into the US should check with
their airline to confirm its policies on live animals as excess baggage.
