Livestock import regulation requires veterinary quarantine clearance and authorized inspection before customs release for entry into the country. Livestock imports are permitted only at designated ports with Animal Quarantine and Certification Services Stations and certain limited land-route entries for specific perishable fish; consignments must be inspected by the officer in charge or an authorized veterinary officer and receive quarantine clearance before customs can authorise release for home consumption, with quarantine authorities empowered to order treatment, destruction, or return to origin and importers bearing the cost of required disinfection under authorized supervision.
