The following outlines the CFIA fees associated with testing and certification for export and admission to an animal semen production centre performed by accredited veterinarians. "Certification" means the signing by an inspector of a document authorizing an activity or attesting to the validity of information, no matter who prepared the document. A complete list of fees relating to the Animal Health Program can be found on the CFIA Website.

Note: Fees may be subject to Government Sales Tax (GST) and in some provinces a Provincial Sales Tax (PST) may also be applicable. Contact your district office for more information.
