It is the exporter's responsibility to ensure that the animal meets the importing country requirements.
An import permit is required and is obtainable from:
The United Arab Emirates
Ministry of Environment & Water
Animal Wealth Department
PO Box 213 Abu Dhabi PH: 662781 Fax: 654787
| or
| PO Box 1509 Dubai PH: 228161 Fax: 232781

Import Permit is valid only for one month from the date of issue.
Note: Where an importing country issues an import permit, the exporter must ensure the animal meets any requirements in the permit.
If your animal is returning to Australia, you should make yourself familiar with Australia'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.
