Moving to Hawaii - Bringing Your Pets to Hawaii
Hawaii's animal quarantine laws have been in place since 1912, to ensure that rabies is not introduced to
the Islands.
The best information comes straight from the source, so check the
Hawaii Department of Agriculture's Animal
Quarantine Information website. It covers all of the current quarantine laws, and provides all necessary
information and brochures you will need.
The Animal Quarantine Station Rabies
Information Brochure (PDF) contains important information about pre-arrival requirements, quarantine
station procedures, policies, rules, operations and fees.
The Dog and Cat Import Form (PDF)
is required to be submitted along with all pre-arrival documents (two vaccination certificates, health
certificate and pre-payments). This must be done no less than 10 days before your pet arrives in Hawaii,
to qualify for the 5-day-or-less
quarantine or for airport release. If the health certificate cannot be sent 10 days before arriving
with the rest of the documents, the original must be given to the inspector upon arrival in Hawaii.
