...and does not require a lot of paperwork. Just add a comment when you experienced a smooth travel - but please mention the regulations to be considered. For example custom forms, passport, vaccinations, microchip/brand etc. |

The German vet informed us that he is using a transponder of type ID 162 FDX-B. Researching the web I found a datasheet containing the technical specification of an AEG transponder that could be the above model. We have also checked with the vet’s distributor and were informed that the transponders usually can not be read by US scanners and that a European scanner must be on hand. This was confirmed by somebody who imported two Dutch mares into the US - also pointing to AVID. AVID states that a frequency of 125 kHz is used in the US - whereas in Europe (see also datasheet of AEG transponder) 134,2 kHz seems to be the standard. It looks like the transponders of European horses usually (!) can not be read unless a European scanner is used. Of course one can bring a European scanner to the US, but if a European horse is stolen in the US the microchip can not be read with standard US scanners…! More information on US microchips can be found on the website of a service provider. |
