How to take dogs abroad or bring them back to China?

A complete set of procedures and prices for transporting pets back to China

Two necessary proofs.

1. health certificate * is valid only if there is a USDA seal in the United States.

2. Rabies injection certificate (rabies vaccine certificate)

The health certificate must be processed within 10 days of boarding, otherwise it will not be cleared. Don't try to give the customs money to break through!

The validity period of rabies vaccine in Chinese mainland is 6 months, maybe 3 months. I forgot what the customs said last time.

As carry-on baggage, a big dog (cat) of Air China is $220.00; Puppy (cat) $ 1 10.00/ dog; A pet must have an owner, and a person can't take more than one pet (I strongly disapprove of trying, and I have called the customs many times, and the answer is: definitely not allowed). If you are two couples, you can take two together on the plane, and three couples with children can take three. But the owner of each pet must have a different name.

You can ask the pet hospital to prescribe sleeping pills when examining small animals. Very cheap. I spent $65,438+05.00 on 65,438+00 tablets. The drug effect of each tablet is 8-65,438+02 hours, which basically lasts. You need to give it to your pet 30 minutes before boarding.

Find the shipping company. However, the shipping company said that it must wait 30 days for rabies vaccine to be delivered to China, because there are express regulations. But I called the quarantine office of China Airport on this issue, and they told me that it would take 30 days to come back for quarantine. But Americans are more disciplined, and since there are explicit rules, they have to wait. Therefore, they must take their pets for rabies vaccination as soon as possible.

If you go back alone, you can take one on your own plane and then take another. There is no internet connection in China for the time being, so you can't find out. If you have more than two pets, you must find the passport of someone who has returned from the United States within one and a half years to get it. In other words, the name of the pet must be the same as the name on the borrowed passport (the requirements are exactly the same).

Because I have to go back early, I asked the pet transportation company to handle the certification and foster care for the two cats for 65,438+00 days, and the full set of procedures cost 65,438+0665 dollars. Otherwise, the two cats will be settled within $65,438+0000.00.

* * * * * * * * There are several other * * * * * * * that need attention or understanding.

1. Don't feed your pet with water or food 4 hours before boarding.

2. Beijing needs quarantine for 30 days, and 70.00 RMB per bird per day; Shanghai does not need to be isolated.

3. Pets are not included in the two pieces of checked baggage, and each box on international routes is 70lb, but I made two phone calls and have different opinions, so it's better to count pets and cages as the weight of the second piece of luggage to prevent the scene from being crazy.

* * * * * * * Registration procedure * * * * * * *

1. Go to the pet hospital for vaccination.

2. Ask the hospital to issue two certificates: a health certificate and a rabies vaccine certificate. Generally speaking, the cost of these two certificates is about $25, including examination and injection.

3. make an appointment with USDA seals
