Petrelocation.com - We received great feedback yesterday on our blog post on ways to enjoy your pets' travel to Vietnam and how many of our expatriate clients are getting ready for their new assignments in Vietnam. Many corporations are finding great success in Vietnam and we know that many of our soon to be clients will be getting ready for their next transfer to this wonderful country.

Many of you have requested an updated list of import requirements when sending your live animals into Vietnam and thus I have included them below:


Attention: This information is to be used as general guidelines and may not be updated to meet the current requirements. Before you travel, be sure to contact the appropriate authorities for your destination country.


VIETNAM IMPORT RULES AND REQUIREMENTS

1) Each Pet shall be identified by means of a microchip. No other form of identification is acceptable. The microchip used should comply with ISO Standard 11784 or Annex A to ISO standard 11785- otherwise the pet will need to be sent with its own scanner attached to the top of the crate.

2) Rabies Vaccination & Certificate: All pets must have an original Rabies Certificate and this certificate must state the microchip number, the date of inoculation and the validity of the particular vaccination you obtain Җ some are good for two years, others are only good for one. This vaccine must be an inactivated vaccine.

3) Vet Health Certificate (Form 7001) This is the standard Health Certificate to be filled out by your USDA accredited Veterinarian. Must be issued within 10 days of the flight.

4) USDA Endorsement: The above referenced forms:

* Microchip Implantation Record
* Rabies Certificate
* Vet Health Certificate

Must be sent to your local USDA for their stamp of approval. Please contact your local representative on the best way of handling this.

Hopefully this helps and please do let us know how we can best help with your international pet shipping and transportation needs!

Happy Pet Travels!
