Is a CDC import permit required to transport live bats within the United States?
Yes. A CDC import permit is required for all transfers of imported live bats. This includes importation into the United States, transfer of bats from one address to another address in the United States or transfer of possession (regardless if bats change location). A CDC import permit is not required for captive bred bats. For further guidance to import and transfer live bats, refer to the application to Import or Transport Live Bats which is available at: http://www.cdc.gov/od/eaipp/importApplicationForms.htm.
