The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is advising the public of its decision to classify the State of Sonora, Mexico as Level I for brucellosis, meaning that the region’s prevalence of the bacterial infection in its domestic bovine herd has been less than .001 percent over the past twenty-four consecutive months and bovine animals now may be imported without testing. Imports under the Level I classification may be authorized beginning March 7, 2022.
