Le propriétaire ou la personne autorisée est autorisé à voyager avec un maximum de cinq chiens, chats ou furets. Sinon, le transport est considéré comme un mouvement commercial.

Le nombre maximum peut dépasser cinq animaux si certaines conditions sont remplies. Dans ce cas, le but du voyage doit être d'assister à une compétition, un spectacle, un événement sportif ou un entraînement. Le propriétaire doit fournir une preuve de l'événement et les animaux doivent être âgés de plus de six mois. Le vétérinaire officiel n'est plus tenu de délivrer un certificat sanitaire dans le système TRACES pour de tels mouvements d'animaux. Au lieu de cela, pour les mouvements commerciaux, un certificat médical doit être délivré dans le système TRACES.

Les règles de transport des animaux sont différentes. Si vous voyagez depuis des pays tiers avec des chiens, des chats ou des furets, vous devez remplir les conditions suivantes:

Le traitement de l'échinococcose doit être effectué au moins 1 et au plus 5 jours avant de déplacer le chien;
L'animal doit être accompagné d'un certificat médical conforme au modèle UE, délivré par un vétérinaire officiel;
Le certificat sanitaire est valable 10 jours à compter de la date de délivrance ;
Déclaration du propriétaire sur le caractère non commercial du transfert ;
Documents de vaccination originaux ou copies certifiées conformes ;
Lors de l'entrée dans l'UE, le propriétaire ou la personne autorisée doit contacter l'autorité compétente et présenter les documents de voyage de l'animal pour vérification. En Finlande, ces contrôles sont effectués par les autorités douanières. Sélectionnez la ligne rouge à la douane et fournissez la documentation au douanier.

Il est nécessaire d'avoir un passeport animal et une vaccination contre la rage.

Si vous voyagez depuis un pays de l'UE, vous pouvez en savoir plus sur les exigences relatives au transport d'animaux ici.

Vous pouvez trouver les exigences pour le transport d'oiseaux, de lapins, etc. sur le lien.

Il existe une page d'information distincte en ukrainien pour les propriétaires d'animaux ukrainiens qui fuient la guerre.
