Hi all,
I will be moving with my partner and 2 cats in August.
I am starting the process of getting the cats sorted with an agency on this end. They have told me I can save money by organising the customs on the Dutch end myself.
Does anyone know what forms I need to organise and is it easy to do?
Thanks
Hannah

Not sure about this as these are EU rules and not country specific. This link will take you to the Dutch government website that deals with this.
Hope this helps.

Australian Animal Health Laboratory (AAHL)
Portarlington Road, 5 - East Geelong
Victoria
Australia

(Postal address - PMB 24, Geelong 3220)
