More Info
Animals under 3 months (unvaccinated)
The regulation describes conditions under which animals under 3 months of age (not vaccinated for rabies) may be allowed entry.
- Entry for unvaccinated animals under 3 months may be permitted only under specific conditions described in the regulation (e.g., document attestations and related safeguards).
Non-commercial movement scope/quantity
Rules for non-commercial movement apply to a limited number of accompanying pets; movements exceeding this may be treated under other (commercial/trade) rules.
- Ensure your movement qualifies as non-commercial; larger numbers of animals may be subject to trade/commercial requirements.
Border controls and non-compliance
Animals and documents may be checked at entry points. Non-compliance can trigger enforcement actions.
- Animals may be subject to veterinary/border inspection on entry.
- If requirements are not met, authorities may deny entry, quarantine the animal until compliant, or require return to the origin.
