Stormy,
Brokers are licensed by the USDA. It is not easy to come by. A broker has
attended many classes, taken exams and must go back to school on a regularly
scheduled basis. These brokers must clear all types of goods coming into this
county such as edibles, dry goods, semen for cattle, goats, chickens, meats,
.flora etc. Some airports put animal clearance under the broker also. I mean
pet animals like dogs, cats and some birds. There is a different form and gobs
of paper work for each catagory of goods.
Some city officials that are the Authority over airports make the decision to
have ALL GOODS COMING IN CLEARED BY A BROKER. Some cities do not feel it is
necessary for a broker to clear dogs and cats. The airport Authority has the
say so in this. Many International Airports choose to have brokers clear
EVERYTHING. they do not want to be responsible for a problem should the USDA
determine that an animal was sent without the proper documentation. It is
easier to have the Broker make sure all is in accordance with US Law. It takes
the heat off of the Airport Authority and saves time and effort for airport
staff.
Hope this explanation helps
Nancy

Nancy, I was asked "What is a broker?" And I know that a broker is a person
inbetween the buyer and the seller, but are they licensed as such? I still
have a problem understanding why a person needs a broker to accept a dog from
our of the U.S. Maybe Homeland Security?

It depends on the airport of Arrival. In Atlanta dogs entering from
outside the US MUST be cleared by a broker. Same for IAH from Canada.
Check your airport for the current rules. They are all different. We have
cleared many coming in from other countries.
