Importing country requirements

It is the exporter's responsibility to ensure that the animal meets the importing country requirements.
Information about the process required to import animals into Hong Kong can be found on the Hong Kong Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department website.

In October 2022, the Hong Kong authority advised that additional vaccinations (booster or continuation of primary course) given within 14 days of import is not prohibited and both dates of vaccination may be included in the health certificate.​

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

Health requirements

As required by the importing country.

Other requirements

Transport requirements

The importing country may have specific transport requirements and you should check this.

Return to Australia​

If your animal is returning to Australia, you should make yourself familiar with the Department's requirements for importing live animals into Australia.​ This is important as your animal may have been exposed to diseases that do not occur in Australia.

Basis for M​icor entry
