Agrocalidad recalls the necessary requirements for the import and export of dogs and cats

Pets or companion animals: dogs and cats, are considered by many families as part of them, the last census included them and their expenses could also be considered for income tax deductions. This familiar treatment also entails in many cases traveling with pets.

How can these types of pets enter or leave the country? The Phytosanitary and Zoosanitary Regulation and Control Agency (Agrocalidad) published the requirements that are needed to be able to take them on a trip.

 

Entry to Ecuador of companion animals:
1. The export animal health certificate for your dog or cat issued by the Official Veterinary Service of the country of origin in Spanish, detailing compliance with the sanitary requirements demanded by Ecuador.

2. When the animal arrives in the hold of the plane, there are two options for its entry into the country:

• If it is delivered together with your luggage in the international arrival area, it will only be nationalized by presenting the export animal health certificate issued by the Official Veterinary Service of the country of origin.
• If your pet is taken to cargo holds, the user must deliver to the Agrocalidad technician the animal health export certificate issued by the Official Veterinary Service of the country of origin and the deposit receipt for $27.71 for the inspection of each animal for the issuance of the animal health import permit, for its subsequent nationalization by the National Customs Service of Ecuador (Senae).

3. Clinical inspection of the dog or cat by an Agrocalidad technician.

However, when the dog or cat arrives in the country in the cabin of the plane together with the passenger or through a land border crossing, it will not need to obtain the animal health import permit, but it must necessarily present the animal health certificate for export.

For the entry of dogs and cats that have temporarily left Ecuador, the same export animal health certificate issued by Agrocalidad may be used to return to the country, provided that no more than thirty calendar days have elapsed from the date of issue. Otherwise, they must comply with the procedure established for this purpose.

In addition, cash payments will not be received, all procedures will be attended to with the presentation of the deposit slip and for the current value that reflects the current tariff.
