Formalities to bring your pet in South Korea

Hi everyone,

I for got to mention "QUARANTINE".
Paper work is easy not the quarantine.
Here is the info. Please read.

All imported animal or animal products are subject to quarantine & inspection at the animal quarantine services in Korean airports or ports. The South Korea Veterinary Certificate issued by the competent government authorities of exporting countries endorseing the animal or article concerned is disease-free and has passed inspection are required. Although it is not required, we recommend that a USDA or CFIA licensed veterinarian complete the form and you have it endorsed by the USDA or CFIA if traveling from the United States or Canada. A copy of the Rabies Certificate should also be included.

All incoming animals will be detained from 5 days to 40 days at the owner's expense and under Government supervision. However, the required detention period for dogs and cats with a health certificate coming from Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Guam, Jamaica, Fiji Islands, Hawaii, Samoa, Cyprus, Norway, Ireland (Rep. & Northern), Great Britain, Sweden, Iceland, Portugal, and Finland will be up to 24 hours.

Failure to comply with these regulations will mean that your pet may be refused entry and the relevant authority in consultation with an authorized veterinarian can decide to return the pet home, or place the pet in quarantine at the expense of the owner or natural person responsible for pet, or as a last resort, without financial compensation, put the pet down where the return trip home or quarantine cannot be arranged.

All other pets (birds, invertebrates, tropical fish, reptiles, amphibia, mammals such as rodents and rabbits) are not subject to the regulations in respect of the anti-rabies vaccination but may have to meet other requirements as to a limit on the number of animals and a certificate to accompany them in respect of other diseases. Pet owners are strongly advised to seek further information from the relevant authority of their country and/or that of the country of destination.

Sorry about this,
Alex,
