At travelling with animals outside the territory of the EU, import conditions established by the competent veterinary authority of the third country of destination (and, where necessary, also the country of transit) must be met. The person accompanying pet animals should always inform of up-to-date animal health import /transit conditions – directly at the relevant competent veterinary authority or, at the embassy of the given third country (which may have the conditions at its disposal as well).
Links to the official web pages of competent authorities of certain third countries which informed the SVA of their conditions for the entry of pet animals to its territory are published bellow.
Note: At these links are usually published conditions for non-commercial movement (traveling) only. In case of commercial movement (import), it is necessary to contact directly the competent veterinary authority of the relevant third country (if the conditions are not published) in order to verify the conditions.
