Parent: U.S. Department of Agriculture. Domains in this note: aphis.usda.gov.
What they regulate
APHIS protects U.S. agriculture through animal and plant health programs, including many import/export and interstate movement rules. Livestock and ag commodity desks may need APHIS/USDA context plus state dealer rules. APHIS is not FMCSA MC authority and not an SEC licence. Indexed ≠ endorsed.
Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.
How to verify
- APHIS home — Animal/plant health, import/export agriculture rules — not an SEC or FMCSA broker register.
- APHIS import/export resources — Permits and health rules; livestock dealer/state rules may still apply separately.
