Regulations for transporting pets abroad and into the country



Confirmation of consignment of pets overseas and entry
Dogs

As the end of the year approaches, airports everywhere become noisy. Some international students have returned from overseas, and some foreign students in China will also return home on vacation. To your home country, for students who keep pets, how to transport their pets back home is a question. Pets have been with us for so long and the holidays are so long, so we definitely don’t worry about staying in a different place.



As for the entry and exit of pets, since the standards of various countries are different, it is difficult to manage The process and procedures are also different. We can go to the local airline to understand the shipping process and charging standards in advance, or we can ask some relevant people who know it to be prepared.



1. The strictest requirement is to apply seven months in advance for domestic pets to leave the country



Zhang Xu, the manager of Hangzhou Zhangxu Animal Hospital, said that the number of pets entering Hangzhou every year is not large, and there are dozens of cats and dogs entering the country. Only, the number that left the country was nearly a hundred. Among them, more than half of the outbound pets will be vaccinated by Zhangxu Animal Hospital in cooperation with the Hangzhou Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau.



At present, except Australia and New Zealand, which cannot accept pets leaving China, the United States, Japan, the European Union and other places all accept pets from China. Pets can enter the country, but the inspection standards and times vary across countries and regions. Japan and Switzerland, the most strict countries, need to apply for pet quarantine seven months in advance, while the United States, the most lenient, only needs to apply for quarantine one and a half months in advance. European Union countries Application must be made four months in advance.



The United States, Canada, South Korea, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Japan, the European Union, South Africa and other countries and regions have all requested assistance. Pets are implanted with an electronic chip. All information about the pet is recorded on this small chip, which greatly facilitates verification when entering and leaving the country. Zhang Xu said: "Don't underestimate this chip. It will be imported into Japan."At the same time, the important verification content is taken from the chip. "



At the same time, a series of services such as internal and external deworming and blood testing must be carried out for pets. Correspondingly, pets The owner also needs to fill out 7-8 forms, including the name of the pet, the time of the first vaccine injection, official veterinarian instructions, etc. 



Immigration pets must be quarantined for one month after entry. Since Hangzhou does not have a dedicated quarantine facility, home quarantine is temporarily implemented. During the one-month quarantine period, pets are not allowed to go out, and animals entering and leaving the country are not allowed to go out. Inspection and quarantine officials will come to the door for inspection. Once violations are found, they will be dealt with in accordance with relevant national regulations. , the consignment process to Japan



Pets may wish to come directly from China to Japan, and they must be received in Japan There are two situations of quarantine during the mandatory period. One is that the quarantine can be completed within 12 hours, and the other is 180 days. So, how to distinguish between the two situations? This situation depends entirely on the preparations before departure. If all the documentation and procedures are obtained in accordance with Japan's regulations, you can leave with your pet after a simple inspection after entry. If any of the requirements are not met, Japanese customs will require that the pet be sent to a quarantine facility for 180 days. Here is a situation where the pet can be received within 12 hours: 

(1) Vaccination with electronic chips. Cats and dogs entering Japan must be vaccinated with electronic chips before entering Japan as a means of identification. The only proof. The electronic chip standard must comply with ISO11784 or 11785, otherwise you must bring your own chip identifier.

(2) Vaccination against rabies. Cats and dogs must be vaccinated with inactivated or recombinant rabies vaccine at least twice after the chip is implanted. The second vaccination must be carried out at least 31 days after the first vaccination, and the vaccination time must be To protect the effectiveness of the first vaccination 



Note: ※The vaccination before chip implantation is. Invalid; ※ Live vaccines are ineffective; ※ Cats and dogs must be older than 91 days when vaccinated

Note:※The date of blood collection must be after the second vaccination After that; ※If the laboratory that performs the test is recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan after this test, the test will be invalid; ※The validity period of the test end: valid within 2 years from the date of blood sample extraction. 

(4) Wait 180 days. According to Japan’s determination, it is necessary to wait for 180 elites to enter Japan after the blood sample collection date. Note: ※If the pet enters Japan without waiting for 180 days after blood sample collection, it will be required to be separated after the date of entry until the 180-day deadline is met; ※If the vaccine has passed the validity period before entry , the pet should be vaccinated again. 

(5) Report the point of entry in advance. Before your pet’s entry date, report it to the Animal Quarantine Service Center at the airport of entry at least 40 days in advance.

You must first undergo relevant animal physical examinations, and then go to the Quarantine Bureau to obtain the exit permit. You will be required to check when entering Japan. Japanese officials recommend using their unified documentation method, and samples can be downloaded from their website.
