This one is not as helpful as we might wish since it leaves a lot of undefined variables and might be the one that you have consulted already.

Good luck, anyway.

A 'google' might throw up more links and info but don't google for too long; it is said to affect your eyesight.

I recall meeting something similar some years ago and it had to do with the conditions likely to be met at the receiving or transit airports in the US. It seems that certain US airports will not accept animals at certain periods of the year because of unfavourable climate and inadequate reception conditions. I shall rummage through my papers and try to find out more but meanwhile try the Animal Reception Centre at London Heathrow, they might be able to advise you. I have always found them very helpful.

I doubt I'd say anything more then the thermoneutral zone. You could try ringing the airline and asking what they would normally accept as I don't like companies trying to push liability on to me.
Only time I've been asked to do this I managed to wiggle myself out of it. Typical USA legal garbage.

We have a breeder client who exports to the US and has asked us for health certificates (fine, no problem) but also Acclimation Certificates (or something that sounds very similar). Usually deals with the boss so I'm only going on 2nd hand info, but VDS advised us not to sign them as we had no control over or knowledge of what conditions would be on the plane, and could not predict an individual animal's response. Contact VDS for advice - usually much more help than RCVS!
