FAQ for SAHOs on Downloaded Rulesheet
Welcome to our updated GVL SmartEngine®! We spent the last year innovating and rebuilding our SmartEngine® from the ground up. Our new ruleset is designed to be more intuitive, with questions targeted at the specific shipment. With clearer guidance, you will receive more compliant CVIs.
Most species are updated: Rules for bovine, swine, equine, ovine, caprine, canine, and feline, are available for download from the SAHO login page. GVL users are directed to contact the state of destination for movements of camelids, poultry and, cervidae.
