Exporters must obtain an import permit from the Kingdom of Thailand Department of Livestock Development and meet the import health requirements specified by the Thailand Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives.

Note

Where an importing country issues an import permit, the exporter must ensure the animal meets any requirements in the permit.
