International pet shipping, anywhere in the world
Shipping a pet from Europe to USA requires careful planning and compliance with regulations. Here are the key requirements:
1. Health Certificate: Obtain a health certificate for your pet from a licensed veterinarian within 10 days of travel.
2. Rabies Vaccination: Ensure your pet’s rabies vaccination is up-to-date (at least 21 days old).
3. Export Permit: Get an export permit from the Serbian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Water Management.
4. Import Permit: Obtain an import permit from the US Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).
5. Microchip: Microchip your pet with an ISO-compliant microchip (15-digit).
6. Crate Requirements: Use an IATA-approved crate that meets size and ventilation standards.
7. Flight Arrangements: Book a direct or non-stop flight from Belgrade to Atlanta, or a flight with a short layover.
8. Accompanying Documents: Prepare accompanying documents, such as a pet passport, vaccination records, and export/import permits.
9. Compliance with Airline Regulations: Check with the airline for specific pet travel requirements and restrictions.
10. Customs Clearance: Clear customs in Atlanta with the help of a pet shipping company or broker, if needed.
It’s recommended to hire a professional pet shipping company to assist with the process, as regulations can change. Additionally, research and consult with relevant authorities, such as the Europe Embassy in the US and the US Department of Agriculture, for the most up-to-date information.
