Pet Transport to Hong Kong
Relocating your pet from Los Angeles to Hong Kong involves strict adherence to the regulations set by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD). With correct preparation, pets traveling from the United States can avoid quarantine and be released directly to their owners upon arrival at Hong Kong International Airport (HKG).
AFCD Import Requirements
To successfully import your pet into Hong Kong, the following requirements must be met:
- Microchip: An AVID 9-digit or ISO-compliant 15-digit microchip.
- Rabies Vaccination: Must be older than 30 days but less than 1 year old.
- Core Vaccinations: Dogs require Distemper, Hepatitis, and Parvovirus (DHP). Cats require Feline Panleukopenia and Feline Respiratory Disease Complex (FVRCP). All must be between 14 days and 1 year old.
- AFCD Import Permit: A special permit that must be obtained prior to booking travel.
- USDA Health Certificate: Endorsed within 10 days of the flight.
Flight Logistics & Airline Selection
Hong Kong has specific rules regarding incoming live animals.
- Pets must arrive as manifested cargo.
- Not all airlines accept pets to HKG, and those that do often have embargoes during extreme weather or restrictions on certain breeds (like brachycephalic/snub-nosed breeds).
- Our team will select the safest, most direct routing from LAX to HKG using our trusted airline partners.
