Depending on your circumstances, the pet may fall under the <strong>Baggage Rule<\/strong>, <strong>DGFT Licence<\/strong>, or <strong>Re-import<\/strong> category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Import of Pets Under Baggage Rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the AQCS guidance, pet import under the baggage provision can apply to owners bringing <strong>dogs or cats<\/strong>, subject to the applicable conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The important requirements include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Proof of <strong>at least two years of stay abroad<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proof of <strong>transfer of residence to India<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For accompanied baggage, the <strong>owner&#8217;s ticket<\/strong> is required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For unaccompanied baggage, the pet should generally arrive within the specified period after the owner&#8217;s arrival, along with passport and immigration-stamp evidence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Advance Customs permission<\/strong> may be required when the pet is being sent before the owner&#8217;s arrival or more than one month after the owner&#8217;s arrival. Animal Quarantine and Certifica\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Health Certificate for Dog or Cat Import<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A major requirement for <strong>pet import to India<\/strong> is an official <strong>health certificate from the country of origin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For dogs, the certificate should certify that the animal is free from clinical signs and symptoms of specified infectious and contagious diseases, including <strong>Rabies, Canine Distemper, Parvo Virus Infection and Leptospirosis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For cats, the health certificate covers diseases including <strong>Rabies, Distemper, Feline Enteritis, Feline Panleukopenia and Leptospirosis<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Rabies Vaccination Requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a dog aged <strong>three months or older<\/strong>, and for cats, the AQCS guidance states that <strong>Rabies vaccination<\/strong> must have been administered <a href=\"https:\/\/dgftexim.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/dgftexim.com\/\"><strong>more than one month but within 12 months before actual embarkation<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaccination details should be officially certified or mentioned in the official <strong>Health Certificate<\/strong>. Other vaccination records should also be appropriately certified or recorded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Owner Details Must Match<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The owner&#8217;s name mentioned on the <strong>official health certificate<\/strong> should match the name on the owner&#8217;s ticket to establish ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The health certificate should also mention the owner&#8217;s <strong>name and address in the country of origin and the country of arrival<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Declaration for Personal Pet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The owner needs to provide a declaration that the <strong>dog or cat is a bona fide pet<\/strong> and is not being imported for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Commercial purposes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gift purposes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Breeding purposes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an important distinction when determining whether the animal qualifies under the applicable personal-pet provisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. What If the Pet Does Not Qualify Under Baggage Rules?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the case does not fall under the applicable <strong>Baggage Rule<\/strong>, the AQCS guidance provides for a <strong>DGFT Licence<\/strong> in situations such as short visits, R&amp;D, Defence, Police and other cases outside the baggage provision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The applicable requirements under the licence, including pre-import health conditions and tests, must be fulfilled before approaching AQCS for the required NOC. Animal Quarantine and Certifica\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Importantly, the AQCS page states that <strong>commercial import of dogs for breeding or other commercial activities is not permitted<\/strong> under the stated provision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Re-import of a Pet from India<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a pet was previously taken out of India and is now being brought back, the case may fall under the <strong>Re-import<\/strong> category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supporting documents can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Proof of earlier movement of the animal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Previous Indian health\/certification documents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Official health certificate from the country of origin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vaccination details<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Owner&#8217;s ticket <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. Advance NOC from AQCS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AQCS guidance states that an <strong>Advance NOC<\/strong> can be issued within <strong>7 days before arrival<\/strong>, based on self-certified advance copies of the required documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original health certificate is retained by AQCS during examination. Depending on the circumstances, the animal may be kept under <strong>quarantine observation<\/strong>, with final clearance issued after the applicable period. Animal Quarantine and Certificate\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are planning to bring a <strong>dog or cat to India<\/strong>, do not wait until the date of travel to check the requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bringing your dog or cat to India from another country requires proper documentation and compliance with Animal Quarantine &amp; Certification Services (AQCS) requirements.
