Travelling with pets

Article

Travelling to the European Union

For entry into all Member States of the European Union (apart from Ireland, Malta, Sweden and the United Kingdom) from third countries, the animals must follow the rules for pet animals entering the EU.

The importation and exportation of certain animals and goods is restricted and possible only under certain conditions; for some animals even absolute import and export prohibitions apply.

Further information can be found on the website of the German Customs Authority.

Travelling to Australia

Australia has very strict rules on the importation of animals. The rules are set by the Australian Department of Agriculture.
