Is it necessary for rabbits from Australia to Shanghai to undergo customs quarantine?
Here is a story about a cat friend taking a cat back to Shanghai from America, which may be helpful to you. 1. Call the Shanghai Entry-Exit Quarantine Bureau first to inquire about the relevant requirements for bringing cats back to Shanghai. The telephone number is 02 1 6854 9999. I confirm that I need two certificates to enter China Customs, one is a health certificate, and the other is a rabies vaccine certificate. Both certificates must be stamped with the seal of the United States Department of Agriculture to be valid. A passport can only carry one cat. However, at the same time, I learned a bad news. Since February 2006, Shanghai Customs has carried out unified quarantine on imported pets. Fortunately, we only need to stay in the isolation field for 7 days, which is much better than staying in Beijing for 30 days. 2. Call the airline to inquire about the relevant regulations. Both United Airlines and Northwest Airlines can bring pets randomly on flights to China. AA stipulates that pets are not allowed on flights with flight time exceeding 12 hours. It is best to book air tickets as early as possible, because there is a limit to the number of pets that can be carried on each plane. Remember to book the cat's position at the same time. Ask the airline about the requirements for bringing pets on the plane. Different airlines will have slightly different regulations. As for pet boxes, some airlines allow soft bags, but I personally prefer hard-shell boxes because they are relatively stable and cats are relatively comfortable inside when people leave. Call the nearby hospital and ask if they have a doctor with USDA certification. If yes, write down the doctor's name, and then call the USDA to confirm that this doctor is on their list. PS: USDA certification is for doctors, not hospitals, so when you make an appointment to vaccinate cats and issue certificates, you must designate a certified doctor. Because the rabies vaccine should be given one month in advance, the health certificate requires that it should be given within 10 or 30 days (within 30 days of passenger transport and 10 days of freight transport), so I have to go to the hospital twice. Different hospitals charge different fees. I'm in North Carolina, and it happens that my cat is going to continue vaccination, so I brought a full set, plus the cost of health certificate, which is $0 100 per cat. If you don't play the whole set, it seems to be about 70 yuan. Make an appointment by phone before going to USDA. It takes about 20 minutes to review and stamp the two certificates, and each cat costs 25 dollars. The office addresses and telephone numbers of various regions of USDA can be found on the following websites.

Arrive at the airport at least two hours in advance. The fare for UA to return to Shanghai this time is $0/30 per cat. Be sure to take the cat out of the cage when you pass the security fluoroscope, because radiation is not good for cats. 6. Everything went smoothly on the road. Although my big cat is a bandit at home, it changes as soon as it goes out, and it can definitely be rated as a model cat. Not afraid of life, but also recognize the master. When she was released from the cage for a few hours during the connecting flight, she leaned on LG's lap and looked around curiously, not running around. On the plane, LG also secretly took her out for a few times and fed her food and drink. But every time she is put back in the cage, her little family is very unhappy:) If the timid cat is on the road, it's best not to take it out. In case the cat is frightened and runs around, it will be in trouble. My cat is super timid, so she never enjoys the treatment of outdoor sports:) If the cat is the kind of person who is crazy and anxious about going out, you can ask the doctor to prescribe some pills to help the cat stabilize its mood. 7. I checked the files of cats at Pudong airport, and each cat has to pay 2000 RMB as the cost of quarantine for 7 days (cry! . . . Higher than the best foster family in America). There is an ATM next to it to withdraw money, and there seems to be a place to exchange RMB at the airport. I also asked LG to take a photo with the cat as a souvenir, probably for fear of giving it to the wrong cat. The isolation site is in Qingpu, and there are photos of the isolation site in the airport office. After reading it, I feel that the environment is not bad and the cage is clean and isolated. It is said that there is a veterinarian on duty. The telephone number of the quarantine office of Pudong Airport is 02 1 6834 5994, and the staff there have a good attitude. Thank you. After 8.7 days, the quarantine office in Qingpu will call someone to pick up the cat. You can collect it yourself or entrust others to collect it on your behalf. Because LG was too busy at work, it was his father who brought the cat home. After his father came back, he said that the environment of the foster family was very good, and the surrounding greening was similar to that of the garden. This finally makes me feel more comforted. 9. If you are in a hurry, you can entrust a pet consignment company to handle all the formalities. You can search the phone number of the shipping company in the yellow pages and online, but the cost is higher.
