Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / January 2008Shipping cat from Australia to the USA.
We're heading back home soon! I've done this before, but rules change. Has anybody moved with their pet from Oz to the US in the last couple of years? Last time Meep traveled with us the whole way as excess baggage, but I keep hearing unsubstantiated rumors that this is no longer allowed, that the pet *must* travel cargo, which would be an extreme hardship for us, and for her. Any advice or information would be appreciated! jmc > We're heading back home soon! > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > jmc http://www.cbp.gov/linkhandler/cgov/toolbox/publications/travel/pets.ctt/pets.pdf You will need a passport now now matter what to get in. Are you still a US citizen http://www.customs.ustreas.gov/xp/cgov/newsroom/news_releases/archives/2007_news _releases/122007/12032007_4.xml Suddenly, without warning, Matthew exclaimed (1/7/2008 1:53 AM): >> We're heading back home soon! >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > citizen > http://www.customs.ustreas.gov/xp/cgov/newsroom/news_releases/archives/2007_news _releases/122007/12032007_4.xml Of course I'm still a US citizen. ONly been here a couple of years. Thanks for the link, but it just confirmed what I already knew: no Customs requirements for cat importation, besides health. I was hoping someone had travelled recently enough that they could tell me whether or not the pet was *required* to travel cargo rather than accompanied baggage. jmc > Suddenly, without warning, Matthew exclaimed (1/7/2008 1:53 AM): >>> We're heading back home soon!

I did not know if you were dual had a visa or wht just wanted to make sure. the regulations have become crazy > I was hoping someone had travelled recently enough that they could tell me > whether or not the pet was *required* to travel cargo rather than > accompanied baggage. I think it is cargo from everything I have read in other post in other groups. Had some one come from Japan and the furball was in the cargo hold. If you are flying many of the airlines don't have pet friendly cargo areas > jmc I'm a lurker; know absolutely nothing about taking a cat on plane, but not knowing any better, I would phone every airline that you could use and check on current regulations. HTH > I'm a lurker; know absolutely nothing about taking a cat on plane, > but not knowing any better, I would phone every airline that you could > use and check on current regulations. HTH Some carriers do, & others don't, so ring around the airlines because some *do* still allow you to take a cat in the cabin. I recently homed a cat in Ireland, & only one carrier was willing to accept her on the flight in the cabin rather than the hold. Sorry I can't help anymore than that, but Good Luck, I'm certain that some of the airlines do!

They took 2 dogs a cat and a parrot. I think the animals went cargo and I know the parrot spent 6 months in quarentine. My aunt told the guys in the quarentine that the parrots name was her own name. So when he came out of quarentine he kept saying my aunts name. Going slightly off track I know a guy that rescued a monkey off these cruel idiots in Malaya and adopted him. They flew the monkey home via Germany and it got home before the guy.

We last did this around 2001. jmc jmc wrote on 08/01/2008 : > Suddenly, without warning, Baldoni exclaimed (1/8/2008 9:55 AM): >> on 06/01/2008, jmc supposed : [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > jmc I would imagine that everything other than small hand luggage must go as cargo. I recall that a long time ago these guys were smuggling poodles between Holland and Belgium. Where it got out of hand is that they were also smuggling diamonds which were stored up the dogs rectum. The dog people knew nothing of the diamonds for a while and then they found out. SignatureCount Baldoni |
