The
National Center for Import and Export (NCIE) plays an integral role
in APHIS’ mission of protecting American agriculture. Charged with
several critical tasks, including:
- facilitating international trade
- monitoring the health of animals’ presented at the border
- regulating the import and export of animals, animal products,
and biologics
NCIE is at the forefront of APHIS’ effort to safeguard the health
of our nation’s agricultural resources. Our many animal health experts
work closely with other Federal agencies, States, foreign governments,
industry and professional groups, and others to enhance international
trade and cooperation while preventing the introduction of dangerous
and costly pests and diseases.
