Movement Info

All animals entering Missouri shall be accompanied by an official Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI, health certificate) issued within 30 days prior to movement into Missouri unless moving to an approved slaughter facility or to an approved livestock market.

 All health certificates must have the physical address of livestock being moved (No post office boxes) for both the consignor and consignee.

 Missouri only accepts the following electronic CVI formats: eCVI, GVL, VET-CVI, Vet Sentry, VSPS. Missouri accepts most paper forms supplied by a state’s animal health officials, as long as they are provided with unique certificate numbers.

 APHIS form 7001 is not an acceptable document for interstate certificates of veterinary inspection for Missouri imports.
