Live animals

Live animal customs clearance and freight forwarding involve several steps to ensure that animals are transported safely and legally. Here’s a general overview of the process:

Pre-Shipment Preparation:

  1.    – Documentation: Obtain necessary documents, such as health certificates, import/export permits, and proof of vaccination.
  2. Quarantine and Health Checks: Ensure the animals meet health requirements and undergo any required quarantine.

Customs Clearance:

  1.    – Regulations: Comply with the regulations of both the exporting and importing countries. This may include specific requirements for different species.
  2.    – Inspection: Animals and their documentation are inspected by customs authorities to ensure compliance with regulations.

Freight Forwarding:

  1.    – Transportation: Arrange for appropriate transportation, which may include special containers and conditions for the animals’ well-being.
  2.    – Handling: Ensure that the handling of animals adheres to safety and welfare standards during transit.

Arrival and Post-Clearance:

  1.    – Final Inspection: Upon arrival, animals may undergo another health inspection and must be cleared by customs.
  2.    – Release: Once cleared, animals can be delivered to their final destination.
