How to Bringing your pets into ChinaQuestion:Before going to China To bring your pet into China you will need two certificates: 1. The Vaccination Certificat This certificate holds the information that all injections are up-to-date. All the vaccinations should be taken within 16 days of departure. The Vaccination Certification could consist of multiple vaccination certificates; this depends on the kind of animal you would like to bring into China. 2. The Health Certificate A veterinarian in your home country should issue this certificate. There is no standard form for China so your veterinarian should use the international certificate. This certificate should be issued no more than 16 days prior to your departure. Obtain multiple copies as you will also need copies for your airline. Arriving in China When you arrive in Beijing you will have to declare your pet at the Customs Department.Take your pet, fee and certificates to the Customs & Immigration Plant and Quarantine office at the airport. You will be charged RMB1026, the certificates will be examined and customs will give you a stamped document allowing you to bring your pet in. Note that there is a mandatory 30 days quarantine period. You can not keep your pet with you at home for this period. Quarantine officers will come and inspect your pet during the 30 day period, and charge a small nominal fee. The regulations are as follows Dogs All Dogs, whether bought locally or imported from outside China through a full quarantine, are required by law to be licensed. Any foreign national, irrespective of whether holding a residents' permit or not, cannot register the dog themselves, it must be registered using the ID Card of a Local Chinese. The more detail please see "How to Register Your Dog in Beijing" Cats Cats must be vaccinated against Enteritis (E3) within 12 months of arrival into China .

It could be of big help to have a (simplified) Chinese translation made of these documents when you arrive. The Chinese embassy in your country may be able to help, or provide details of a translator in your area. Make sure that the translations are certified copies. Check with your local authorities what are the procedures of bringing back your pet to your home country. For some countries bringing out your pet is easier than bringing back your pet. Check with your airline if they allow you to bring your pet. Always check with the nearest Chinese embassy for the latest updates for the rules and regulations for bringing your pet to China.

For example in Beijing there are very lot's of foreigners have pets, and when Xmas is coming, they take their pets going home country and after share the pleasent moment with their families, they have to return to Beijing with their furry family member, so we could offer pet relocation service for them. I donot mean bringing pets into China for eating or fur industry it's a big no no for me, just cause I also have a femal Golden Retriever, her name is DuDu, she is very kind. Maybe there are some mistakes between you and me. Thanks. |
