Incheon International Airport had placed a ban on pets arriving as excess luggage last week.Last week, Incheon International Airport placed a ban on pets arriving as accompanied luggage due to pneumonic plague concerns.  Our customs agent in South Korea has since informed us that while this ban initially was for all pets, the customs officials are now allowing pets to arrive as excess luggage from all countries excluding China.

Pets coming from the US and other countries should now be fine entering South Korea as excess luggage, however our agent reminds us that it is a good idea to double-check with customs officials prior to arrival as they could still not accept pets on a case-by-case basis.
