Hawaii's Animal Quarantine Laws

http://www.hawaiiag.org/hdoa/ai_aqs_info.htm


Hawaii is a rabies free state. Importation of dogs, cats and other carnivores into Hawaii is governed by Chapter 4-29 of the State of Hawaii, Department of Agriculture Administrative Rules. This law says that these animals are required to complete a 120-day confinement in the State Animal Quarantine Station. If specific pre-arrival and post-arrival requirements are met, animals may qualify for a 30-day quarantine or a new 5-day-or-less quarantine that became effective on June 30, 2003. Qualifications for Hawaii residents with pets and reduced "re-entry" fees became effective on February 12, 2004.

Importation of Pets and Other Animals into the United States

http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dq/animal.htm


CDC has regulations governing importation of the following pets: dogs, cats, turtles, and monkeys. Pets taken out of the United States are subject, upon return, to the same regulations as those entering for the first time. The U.S. government does not require general certificates of health for pets. However, because airlines sometimes require health certificates for pets traveling with them, you should check with your airline prior to your travel date.

Traveling with Your Pet

http://www.aphis.usda.gov/lpa/pubs/petravel.html

 

Dogs, cats, and most other warm-blooded animals transported in commerce are protected by the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) enforces this law. APHIS’ shipping regulations help ensure that people who transport and handle animals covered under the AWA treat them humanely. Airlines and other shippers are affected by regulations established to protect the well-being of animals in transit.

Importation of Pets and Other Animals Into the United States

http://www.aphis.usda.gov/NCIE/pet-info.html

 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has certain restrictions on the importation of dogs. Collies, shepherds, and other dogs that are imported from any part of the world except Canada, Mexico, and regions of Central America and the West Indies and that are to be used in the handling of livestock must be inspected and quarantined at the port of entry for a sufficient time to determine their freedom from tapeworm.

 

We also suggest you contact your State, county, municipal authorities for local restrictions on importing dogs. Some airlines require health certificates for dogs traveling with them. You should contact the airlines prior to your travel date.

Pets and Wildlife Licensing and Health Requirements

http://www.cbp.gov/ImageCache/cgov/content/publications/pets_2epdf/v1/pets.pdf

 

Travelers frequently inquire about taking their pets with them to the United States. All such importations are subject to health, quarantine, agriculture, wildlife, and customs requirements and prohibitions. Pets, except for pet birds, taken out of the United States and returned are subject to the same requirements as those entering for the first time. Returning U.S. origin pet birds are subject to different import restrictions than pet birds of non-U.S. origin entering the United States for the first time. For more information on importing pet birds into the United States, see the section on Birds or the Department of Agriculture’s Web site at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/NCIE.

 

Pets excluded from entry into the United States must either be exported or destroyed. While awaiting disposition, pets will be detained at the owner’s expense at the port of arrival. The U.S. Public Health Service requires that pet dogs and cats brought into this country be examined at the first port of entry for evidence of diseases that can be transmitted to humans. Dogs coming from areas not free of rabies must be accompanied by a valid rabies vaccination certificate. Turtles are subject to certain restrictions, and monkeys may not be imported as pets under any circumstances.

 

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is concerned with the importation, trade, sale, and taking of wildlife and with protecting endangered plant and animal species. Some wildlife species of dogs, cats, turtles, reptiles, and birds, although imported as pets, may be listed as endangered. Endangered and threatened animal and plant wildlife, migratory birds, marine mammals, and certain dangerous wildlife may not be imported without special federal permits. Sportsmen will find the section on wildlife of particular interest, since game birds and animals are subject to special entry requirements.

 

We suggest that you also check with state, county, and municipal authorities for local restrictions on importing pets. Some airlines require health certificates for pets traveling with them. You should check with your airline prior to your travel date.

 

If you are taking a pet to another country, contact that country’s embassy in Washington, DC, or its nearest consular office for information on any requirements that you must meet.

 

Transportation Security Administration 

Security Screening - Pets

http://www.tsa.gov/public/interapp/editorial/editorial_1036.xml

 

Security procedures do not prohibit you from bringing a pet on your flight. You should contact your airline or travel agent, however, before arriving at the airport to determine your airline's policy on traveling with pets.

 

If you are planning to bring an animal on-board the plane with you, you will need to present the animal to the security checkpoint screeners for screening. You may walk your animal through the metal detector with you. If this is not possible, your animal will have to undergo a secondary screening, including a visual and physical inspection.

 

Your animal will NEVER be placed through an X-ray machine. However, you may be asked to remove your animal from its carrier so that the carrier can be placed on the X-Ray machine.

 

Service Animals

http://www.tsa.gov/public/interapp/editorial/editorial_1056.xml

 

If you have a service animal, you are encouraged to inform the screener that the animal accompanying you is a service animal and not a pet. This will provide you with an opportunity to move you to the front of the screening line since the screener may need to spend more time with you.

National Park Service

Visiting Parks with Your Pets

http://www.nps.gov/pub_aff/e-mail/pets.htm

 

In general, pets are permitted but must be restrained either on a leash not exceeding 6 feet in length, caged or crated at all times. Park Superintendents and Managers have the discretion to further restrict areas open to pets (i.e., trails, buildings, campgrounds may be off limits). You can access information on the parks you plan to visit by going to the “Visit Your National Parks” website at http://www.nps.gov/parks.html . It is always best to check with the park(s) you are planning to visit for specific information and restrictions for pets.



US Department of Transportation

 

New Horizons - Information for the Air Traveler with a Disability

Service Animals

http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov/publications/horizons.htm#ServiceAnimals


Carriers must permit dog guides or other service animals with appropriate identification to accompany an individual with a disability on a flight. Identification may include cards or other documentation, presence of a harness or markings on a harness, tags, or the credible verbal assurance of the passenger using the animal.


If carriers provide special information to passengers concerning the transportation of animals outside the continental United States, they must provide such information to all passengers with animals on such flights, not simply to passengers with disabilities who are traveling with service animals.


Carriers must permit a service animal to accompany a traveler with a disability to any seat in which the person sits, unless the animal obstructs an aisle or other area that must remain clear in order to facilitate an emergency evacuation, in which case the passenger will be assigned another seat.


Service Animal Guidance

http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov/rules/20030509.pdf


This document refines DOT’s previous definition of service animal by making it clear that animals that assist persons with disabilities by providing emotional support qualify as service animals and ensuring that, in situations concerning emotional support animals, the authority of airline personnel to require documentation of the individual’s disability and the medical necessity of the passenger traveling with the animal is understood.


Transporting Live Animals

http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov/publications/animals.htm


Over two million pets and other live animals are transported by air every year in the United States. Federal and state governments impose restrictions on transporting live animals. In addition, each airline establishes its own company policy for the proper handling of the animals they transport. As a shipper or owner you also have a responsibility to take the necessary precautions to ensure the well being of the animal you ship.

 

Federal Aviation Administration

Traveling with Pets in the Passenger Cabin

http://www.faa.gov/avr/afs/cabinsafety/pets/pets.htm

 

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) allows each airline to decide if they will allow you to travel with your pet in the passenger cabin. If an airline does allow you to bring your pet into the cabin, we consider your pet container to be carry-on baggage and you must follow all carry on baggage rules.

 


Bringing Pets to Britain

http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/quarantine/index.htm


What you have to do to bring your pet dog or cat into (or back into) Britain through the Pet Travel Scheme (or PETS for short) without putting it into quarantine. This site also tells you about quarantine in Britain for animals that don’t qualify for PETS. Also note that it is against the law in Great Britain to possess certain types of dogs and meeting the requirements of PETS will not change that. Section 1 of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 prohibits four types of dog:

 

                      the Pit Bull terrier

                      the Japanese tosa

                      the Dogo Argentino

                      the Fila Braziliero

 

If you bring one of these dogs into Great Britain, you could be prosecuted and the dog seized and destroyed.

The European Regulation on the Movement of Pet Animals

http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/quarantine/quarantine/regulation/eu_reg.htm


The Regulation sets out the requirements for the movement of pet animals (dogs, cats and ferrets) travelling within the Community, and into the Community from third countries. It also refers to importation requirements applying to rodents, rabbits, birds (except certain poultry), ornamental tropical fish, invertebrates (except bees and crustaceans), amphibians and reptiles. We are still waiting for more information from Brussels about any requirements relating to these species.


Mexico

US Department of State Tips for Travelers to Mexico

http://travel.state.gov/law/tips_mexico.html


Pets. U.S. visitors to Mexico may bring a dog, cat or up to four canaries by presenting the following certificates at the border: (1) a pet health certificate signed by a registered veterinarian in the United States and issued not more than 72 hours before the animal enters Mexico; and (2) a pet vaccination certificate showing that the animal has been treated for rabies, hepatitis, pip and leptospirosis.
