Hi everyone!
I need an advice please!
I have USDA T-Carrier certificate and few days ago I was traveling with customers dogs from Moscow to Miami. I was asked to go to baggage checking zone where I showed vaccinations proof, my license and signed transportation agreements for transported dogs with all info: dog's owners addresses, their phone numbers etc. But border control reps said they don't believe me and theн told me that I'm transporting dogs for resale purposes and that I have to get custom clearance (It was Saturday late evening!). Finally I paid $1,600 and something for dog boarding (even for my own dog) and $350 custom fee and was able to get all dogs back next day around 2pm only.
Can you please help me. Where can I read what are my rights and responsibilities? I couldn't find this info anywhere.
Once again I have been delivering dogs by order of their owners and NOT for resale purposes.
Thank you
