shipping semen to the European Union

Does anybody have an idea how much it costs to ship semen from the United States to the E.U.?

Id check into what country as some do not allow HYPP Postive in their country. It would be a shame to go threw all that trouble to find out its not accepted. Me Well I just purchase a breeding on a N/H. 1/2 price, at a Ky incentive fund stallion.... Like those deals.

Contact these people they may know.

Well, I talked with 2 0f the 3 outfits in MN that can ship to the E.U. and with the quarantine, all the extra testing, the freezing, vapor container, packing, broker, and shipping, the cost is $3,500-$4,500. That's without the stud fee...pretty sure the guy in Spain will change his mind! Oh well, now we know!

That's nuts. I never would have thought it would have been that expensive, seeing as how people ship WB semen over here all the time. Wow, must be cheaper to bring it here. I suppose they have more stringent controls than us North Americans do.

Yep, the vet at "Town and Country" said 'the red tape we have here is NOTHING like stuff over in the E.U.'
Now I know why only 3 places in the whole state bother having the ability to ship there.
