Anyone done international shipment?

We've shipped into Canada via ground, Hawaii and Alaska via air, but have been contacted by a potential customer in Australia to see if we could possibly export a ND buck and doe. We've contacted our vet, who's apparently overseen export of dairy cows to Australia, but wanted to see if any breeders on the forum had exported goats.

I have exported goats to the Dominican Republic. Different countries have different requirements. I had looked at the possiblity of exporting to Australia in the past, but it appears all that can be exported from the U.S. to Australia are frozen semen and embryos that meet certain requirements. Look at this page if you are interested in exporting semen. Here is the information on exporting embryos to Australia.

Thanks saanengirl. We're awaiting a phone call back from our vet, but I wouldn't be surprised if dairy cattle were OK and goats were not because we have so much disease within the dairy goat population here in the U.S. Appreciate your help.
