Vaccinations
Description:

Rabies vaccination is required as reflected on the USDA APHIS veterinary health certificate for dogs and cats to Mali. Mali government customs pages do not specify vaccination timing; confirm any timing/booster details with Mali’s veterinary authority (DNSV) or a Malian embassy/consulate.

  • Document a valid rabies vaccination on the veterinary/zoosanitary health certificate.
Certifications
Description:

Mali Customs indicates pets are admitted non‑commercially upon presentation of a health (zoosanitary) certificate, and the official prohibitions list requires a zoosanitary certificate for live animals.

  • Obtain an official veterinary/zoosanitary health certificate from the competent authority in the country of export.
  • Present the certificate to Malian Customs on arrival.
