Customs answers passengers' hot issues

When the announcement was officially implemented, Shanghai Customs answered the hot issues concerned by the majority of passengers on the contents of the new pet policy.

As for the declaration process, the owner should submit the overseas official animal quarantine certificate, vaccination certificate and rabies antibody test report (for non designated countries or regions) to the on-site customs for customs clearance of imported pets. Customs officers will check the chip number of the imported pet and the above certificate documents.

Is the rabies antibody test report required to provide the original? Is the copy OK? Shanghai Customs reply: the owner should show the original and copy of the rabies antibody test report to the on-site Customs after bringing the pet into China. After on-site customs examination, leave a copy and return the original to the owner.

In view of the validity of rabies antibody test report, the validity of rabies antibody titer test report is within one year from the date of blood collection. If the pet is injected with rabies vaccine again within the validity period of rabies vaccine injection, the rabies antibody titer test report will remain valid.

Another passenger asked, "our pets were brought to the United States from China at the beginning, and now if they are brought back to China, are the vaccines taken in China still recognized? Are the rabies antibody tests done in Changchun laboratory still recognized?"

In response, the Chinese customs responded that the rabies testing laboratory in Changchun is one of the reference laboratories for rabies testing recognized by the world organization for animal health (OIE), and also one of the testing institutions for the Chinese customs to accept the results of rabies testing. If the rabies vaccine is within the period of validity and the antibody test report is within the period of validity, it is recognized.

Shanghai Customs reminds passengers who bring pets into China to understand relevant policies in advance, implant electronic chips for your pets, and handle animal quarantine certificate, vaccination certificate and rabies antibody test report issued by overseas official agencies in advance, so as to take good care of your companion animals.
