All imported animals must undergo a post-arrival quarantine (PAQ) on premises approved by
East Timor quarantine under the supervision of an Official Veterinarian, for a minimum
period of 14 days. During PAQ animals may be subjected to any other testing or treatment
prescribed by East Timor quarantine at the importer’s expense.

If any animal fails a test or shows signs of disease, that animal and any or all other
animals in th PAQ premises may be detained in quarantine for further testing and/or
observation or exported at the importer’s expense, or destroyed without recompense.

for the provision of any health certification or testing additional
to that required by East Timor quarantine. The importer or agent must
nominate a person who can be contacted by SQTL quarantine officers and
who will be responsible for ensuring that all import requirements are
met.
