in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law bans importing certain animal-treatment products into the United States. It's illegal to bring in a virus, serum, toxin, or similar product for treating farm animals if it's worthless, contaminated, dangerous, or harmful. Importers need a permit from the Secretary of Agriculture, or for Canadian products, a permit or a Canadian certification the Secretary accepts instead.

No one may import a virus, serum, toxin, or similar product into the United States for treating domestic animals unless they have a permit from the Secretary of Agriculture. This ban also specifically covers any such product that is worthless, contaminated, dangerous, or harmful. There are two ways to get permission: (1) get a permit from the Secretary of Agriculture, or (2) for a product coming from Canada, either get that same permit or instead get a certification from Canada, in whatever form the Secretary of Agriculture requires.
