Notes:

1. For entry in the U.S.A., this Health Certificate is valid for 30 days following the date of inspection above.
2. Horses can return to Canada accompanied by this Health Certificate, provided that they return within 60 days of the date of entry to the US. A proof of the date of entry is needed, but if none is available, the date of endorsement of the certificate can be used as the last day in Canada. Return under these conditions is subject to changes in disease status within the United States and it is the responsibility of the owner/transporter who will present the horses for re-entry to Canada to check with their accredited veterinarian for any changes to these conditions.
3. Foals born after the mare has been tested for EIA are exempted from the EIA test requirement, provided that this test is still valid and they accompany their dam. However, the foal must be described on a separate HA1964 form and the EIA test date must be the same as the dam.
