TENNESSEE HEALTH CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENT:
“The Tennessee State Veterinarian’s office rules state that all animals being imported into Tennessee are required to have a certificate of veterinary inspection (health certificate) from an accredited veterinarian within 30 days of arrival. State Animal Health Officials may be present at exhibitions and sales and require owners/agents to present these papers as proof of health.”
