Rev. 05/11/2020
CHECKLIST FOR PETS ARRIVING FROM
BRITISH ISLES, AUSTRALIA, GUAM AND NEW ZEALAND
All steps need to be completed in order to qualify for exemption.
I understand that my pet(s) must be transported in the same aircraft from the port of origin to
Honolulu International Airport. None of my pets are off-loaded en route to Hawaii from the country
of origin, except that off-loading may be permitted to transfer the animal to another aircraft under
the following conditions only:
A)
The off-loading, transfer and placement on the next aircraft must be directly supervised by
the officer in charge of either aircraft;
B)
The officer in charge shall certify in writing that the animal in transit did not come in physical
contact with any other animal;
C)
The officer in charge shall be identified on the certification by name, position, title, airline
name, business address and phone number; and;
D)
The certification shall state the exact date, time, aircraft and flight number for both the
arriving and departing aircraft.
When arriving in Hawaii, my pet must be accompanied with the following documents:
A)
Original official health certificate within 14 days of transport certifying free of external
parasites and signs of transmissible disease; by a veterinarian holding an appointment as
an officer of the government of the country of origin.
B)
Original affidavit executed by owner or consignor certifying the animal was not outside the
Country of origin during the six-month period immediately prior to date of shipment.
C)
Original affidavit executed by the captain of the aircraft or senior station official attesting
that the animal was transported on one aircraft.
If my pet is originating from Guam, I have an original properly filled out and signed Guam Affidavit,
form IC-5, to provide to State inspectors upon my pet’s arrival in Hawaii.
My pet will be shipped in containers that are sealed such that removal of the animal will break the
seal.
I understand that all animals shall be inspected by station veterinarian or inspector at time of
arrival and be subject to treatment for external parasites. Any indication of transmissible disease
in any animals in the shipment shall be sufficient reason to quarantine all of the animals at the
quarantine station.
I understand that I am responsible for paying the following fees to import each dog or cat into
Hawaii from the British Isles, Australia, Guam and New Zealand: $45.00 plus $14.30 for each
additional day after arrival until release.
I have arranged for my pet to arrive at the Airport Animal Quarantine Holding Facility at Honolulu
International Airport during normal inspection hours of 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. I realize that it may
usually take up to one hour for the airlines to transport my pet to the Airport Animal Quarantine
Holding Facility [Phone: (808) 837-8092] and qualifying animals not arriving at the facility during
normal inspection hours will be released the following day. Posted inspection hours are subject to
change.
