Cervids may be imported to Wisconsin from states with USDA CWD Herd Certification Status. Access Cervids: CWD Voluntary Herd Certification Program | APHIS for an up to date list.
Note to Wisconsin producers: If you are obtaining cervids from a herd that is not accredited TB or certified brucellosis-free, contact the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) prior to moving animals into your farm-raised deer herd as additional testing may be required in order to maintain your tuberculosis and/or brucellosis herd status.
Exporting Deer and Other Cervids From Wisconsin
Wisconsin does not have specific export requirements for cervids. Please contact the state or nation of destination to learn the import requirements. To qualify for out of state movements that require CWD Herd Status by the USDA, cervids must reside in a WI Interstate Certified Herd.
