Canada → USA

Official Draft — July 2026

1. Purpose

The Kamia Export Procedure defines the standards, documentation, and health requirements for Full Blood Norwegian and Swedish Elkhounds exported from Kamia Kennels in Canada to owners in the United States. This procedure ensures regulatory compliance, animal welfare, and continuity within the Kamia Registry.

2. Scope

This procedure applies to:

• Six‑Month Export Pups (Canada‑born pups delivered to USA owners at ~6 months of age)
• USA‑Born Pups (litters whelped in the United States and delivered locally or re‑imported to Canada)

3. Export Requirements — Canada → USA (Six‑Month Pups)

3.1 Identity Verification

• Microchip
  • Required for pups 6 months or older entering the USA.
  • Microchip number recorded on the Health Certificate.

3.2 Health Requirements

• Rabies Vaccination
  • Mandatory for pups 6 months or older.
  • Rabies certificate accompanies the Health Certificate.
• Veterinary Health Certificate
  • Issued by a licensed veterinarian.
  • Serves as the controlling export document.
  • Includes microchip number, vaccination history, and health status.

3.3 Regulatory Notes

• No CFIA Export Form Required
  • CFIA does not issue or require an export document for personal/non‑commercial dog movement.
  • The veterinarian’s Health Certificate is the official document recognized at the border.
• USDA/APHIS Compliance
  • USDA accepts the Canadian vet‑issued Health Certificate and Rabies certificate.
  • No additional USDA forms are required for personal import.

3.4 Registry Integration

• All exported pups remain registered within the Kamia Registry.
• DNA certification is optional and may be added to this procedure in future revisions.

4. USA‑Born Pups (Delivered in USA)

4.1 Identity & Vaccination

• No Rabies Required
  • USA‑born pups delivered at 7–8 weeks are too young for rabies vaccination.
• No Microchip Required
  • Microchip is optional for USA‑born pups unless requested by the owner.
• Booster Vaccinations
  • Standard puppy boosters administered prior to delivery.
• Deworming
  • Completed according to Kamia’s standard puppy protocol.

4.2 Health Certificate

• Veterinary Health Certificate
  • Required for delivery.
  • Confirms the pup is healthy and fit for transport.

4.3 Cross‑Border Movement (USA → Canada, if applicable)

• Pups entering Canada follow CFIA’s young‑pup exemption rules.
• No rabies or microchip required for pups under 3 months entering Canada.

5. Preservation & Continuity

All exported pups — whether Canada‑born or USA‑born — remain part of the Kamia Registry and contribute to the ongoing Restoration Architecture lineage.

Future revisions may include:

• Optional DNA certification
• Digital registry integration
• Export lineage tracking
• Cross‑border breeding documentation
