In checking around a couple of government agencies, it appears that
ferrets are grouped with "other" small "rodent" pets and are not subject
to extensive restrictions on importation as pets.
You should probably obtain a current (within 10 days of border crossing)
health certificate, even though CDC (Center of Disease control that
regulates animal importation) does NOT require one for ferrets
specifically. Some U.S. states do require health certificates for
traveling ferrets.
A couple of web sites:

"...Rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, and other pet rodents
There are no CDC or USFWS restrictions or requirements on these animals
if brought in as pets. ..."
