It is the exporter's responsibility to ensure that the animal meets the importing country requirements.

Contact the Consulate-General of the Republic of Kazakhstan for information about the process required to import animals into Kazakhstan from Australia.

Note

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

As importing country health requirements may change without advice to the Department you should check the import permit and/or the country’s website carefully at the time of preparation for export.

It is the responsibility of the exporter to use the appropriate bilingual health certificate and ensure that this and any accompanying declarations are in English and Russian.

The bilingual Veterinary certificate for fur animals, rabbits, dogs and cats, imported to the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) from third countries (Form No. 15 (PDF 555 KB)) should be used (certificate current at November 2021).

Australian Departmental officers will not endorse health certification for dogs and cats destined to the Republic of Kazakhstan if only presented in a language other than English.

Transport requirements

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

Pre and post arrival quarantine requirements

The importing country may have specific pre and post arrival quarantine requirements and you should check this.

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.
