I understand that I will need an import permit and health certificate... but is there an export permit required, as well? Also, does the health certificate need to be USDA endorsed before I apply for the permit in Malaysia? Thanks so much for your answers. -Sweeyen
Hi Sweeyen, thanks for your question! Please take a look at these Pet Import Requirements to Malaysia to find the information you need. In short, you'll see that you should obtain a rabies certificate, vet health certificate, proof of vaccinations and an import permit (and all must be USDA endorsed). Malaysia also mandates a 7-day quarantine for pets entering the US. Our website will tell you more about this as well.
