What documents are required to import an animal into the country?
- The animal must be implanted with a microchip consisting of 15 digits and conforming to the ISO 11784/11785 standard. The microchip number must appear on the health certificate;
- The animal must have been vaccinated against rabies from 30 days to 12 months before entering the country;
- If your pet (cat/dog) was born and raised or spent more than 6 months in Japan, Great Britain, Sweden, Iceland, Australia, New Zealand, Norway (except Svalbard), Hawaii, Guam or Singapore, it will not need a rabies test. Animals entering from all other countries will need a test done between 180 days and 12 months before entry and this test must be done no earlier than 30 days after the last rabies vaccination.
Importantly!
- This analysis can only be done at an approved Taiwanese quarantine bureau, BAPHIQ.
- After the test, 180 days must pass before the Taiwanese authorities will allow your pet to enter the island. The result must also show at least 0.5 IU/ml, otherwise you will have to re-vaccinate and re-test your pet.
- Please note that if you bring your pet to Taiwan before the end of the 180 days, the local authorities have the right to either send the animal back or place it in the appropriate institution for quarantine until these 180 days have passed, or use more radical methods.
- Veterinary certificate completed by a licensed veterinarian in your country before travel;
- Required permit for import into the country. You can get it in real-time on the website of the Council of Agriculture, "Bureau of Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine". The received permit is valid for three months. Also, it should be received no later than 20 days before the estimated animal import date to Taiwan.
- Treatment for parasites before entry is not mandatory, but it is better to do it;
- Birds, invertebrates, tropical fish, amphibians, rodents are not subject to rabies vaccination requirements, but may be subject to other requirements. This should be clarified with the relevant authorities of your country/country of destination;
Importantly! Before importing a pet (unless it is a dog, cat, or ferret), you should make sure that it is not under the protection of the International Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES). If so, then you will need to apply for additional documents.
