New regulations for transporting animals to China
Since the beginning of 2019, new rules regarding the import of pets have come into force in China. Now, when bringing animals into this country, there is no longer a mandatory quarantine period upon arrival. This means that your pet can start a new life in China immediately upon arrival.
However, it is worth taking into account certain requirements and conditions that must be met for the successful import of an animal.
Basic requirements for importing animals into China:
1. Microchipping: All dogs and cats imported into China must be microchipped according to the ISO standard. If the animal has been microchipped with a standard other than ISO, a scanner capable of reading this chip must be provided.
2. Veterinary Certificates: Before moving your pet to China, make sure he/she has a veterinary passport with information about vaccination against rabies and other viral diseases. It is also necessary to provide a veterinary certificate regarding the current state of health.
3. Test for antibodies to rabies: After vaccination against rabies, a test for the presence of antibodies to this virus must be taken. This test should be carried out after the second rabies vaccination.
4. Other documents: You will also need an international veterinary certificate issued by a state veterinarian, no earlier than 5 days before departure.
Features of transporting animals from “dangerous” countries to China
China classifies countries with a high risk of rabies as having a more dangerous epidemiological status, so the rules for importing animals from such countries are slightly stricter.
Pet owners should consider the following features:
- An ISO standard chip is required.
- The second rabies vaccination must be administered no later than 30 days before travel.
- A rabies antibody test is required after the second vaccination.
- All required documents must be completed in accordance with Chinese requirements.
- Treatments against internal and external parasites.
Recommendations for successful transportation
• Prepare your pet for travel: Make sure your pet is calm and comfortable when traveling. Contact your veterinarian for advice if necessary.
• Ensure comfort and safety: Purchase a carrier or crate that meets safety standards and provides plenty of room for movement.
• Prepare the necessary documents in advance: Make sure that all the necessary documents are completed in advance and comply with Chinese requirements.
