what we want to avoid.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>These are actual mistakes that can occur in the international transportation of pets. Knowing them in advance can help you avoid the same mistakes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pa-fail-list\">\n<div class=\"pa-fail-item\">\n<div><strong>Microchip and vaccines in the wrong order.<\/strong><br \/>The rabies vaccine was inoculated before the microchip was installed, and the vaccination was invalidated. In some cases, the vaccination was invalidated, and the travel was delayed for several months because it had to be re-administered. Be sure to follow the sequence of microchipping and vaccination.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-fail-item\">\n<div><strong>Antibody titer test results did not reach reference values<\/strong><br \/>If the rabies antibody titer test shows less than 0.5 IU\/ml, the dog must be revaccinated and retested. It will take another 2 to 3 weeks to receive the results, so it is important to schedule your vaccination well in advance.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-fail-item\">\n<div><strong>Export quarantine appointments were not available.<\/strong><br \/>Especially at Haneda Airport, inspection reservations continue to be extremely difficult to obtain. There have even been cases where passengers have had to change their flights because they could not get a reservation on the date they wanted. Early reservations are essential.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-fail-item\">\n<div><strong>Overlooked changes in destination regulations.<\/strong><br \/>Cases in which the import requirements of the destination country have changed during preparation and additional documentation is required. It is essential to regularly check for the latest information. For example, the new EU regulations from April 22, 2026 onward make the document screening more stringent than before.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-fail-item\">\n<div><strong>Health certificate expired<\/strong><br \/>Health certificates must be obtained within a certain period of time before departure (usually within 10 days, etc.). There have been cases where the certificate has expired due to a flight change and needs to be re-obtained.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-fail-item\">\n<div><strong>I didn't know about the restrictions on acceptance of shortbread.<\/strong><br \/>ANA has stopped accepting international cargo shipments of short-breed dogs (Pugs, French Bulldogs, Bulldogs, etc.) throughout the year. There have been cases where this was discovered just prior to departure, necessitating a change of airline or route.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u30bb\u30af\u30b7\u30e7\u30f38: FAQ --><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E3%82%88%E3%81%8F%E3%81%82%E3%82%8B%E8%B3%AA%E5%95%8F%EF%BC%88FAQ%EF%BC%89\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"pa-faq\">\n<div class=\"pa-faq-item\">\n<div class=\"pa-faq-q\">Can I handle all the procedures for transporting my pet overseas by myself?<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-a\">Yes, systematically, owners can handle this on their own. However, it may take approximately 90 to 125 hours of actual work due to a wide variety of tasks such as researching the destination's regulations, preparing necessary documents, applying to the animal quarantine office, and coordinating with the airline company. For first-time travelers or those who work concurrently, the burden can be greatly reduced by using a specialist.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-item\">\n<div class=\"pa-faq-q\">How much does it cost?<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-a\">PetAirJPN's basic service starts from 130,000 yen (tax not included). Since it varies depending on the destination and pet's situation, please contact us for a free estimate first. Please note that veterinary hospital treatment fees, airfares, and application fees for the destination country will be charged separately.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-item\">\n<div class=\"pa-faq-q\">When should I start preparing?<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-a\">Ideally, 6 to 8 months prior to departure. Especially for destinations that require rabies antibody titer testing (Hawaii, Australia, return to Japan, etc.), it takes several months to get the vaccination, have blood drawn, and wait for the test results. The earlier you move, the more options you have and the more time you can afford to schedule.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-item\">\n<div class=\"pa-faq-q\">Do cats need the same procedure?<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-a\">The basic process (microchip \u2192 vaccine \u2192 health certificate \u2192 export inspection) is the same as for dogs. However, dogs may require additional testing for leptospirosis. In addition, requirements may differ for dogs and cats depending on the destination, so individual confirmation is required.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-item\">\n<div class=\"pa-faq-q\">Are pets safe on airplanes?<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-a\">Airlines properly control the temperature and air pressure in the cargo hold. However, it is essential to prepare for safety by preparing appropriate kennels, conducting health checks in advance, and confirming airline restrictions for short-haul animals. If you are unsure, please contact us for advice, including the selection of the best route and airline.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-item\">\n<div class=\"pa-faq-q\">If I hire an expert, what do I have to do?<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-a\">When using PetAirJPN, we mainly require the following services from the pet owner: initial consultation (1 to 1.5 hours), accompanying the pet to the veterinary clinic (2 to 3 hours), signing and confirming documents (1 to 1.5 hours), and final confirmation before travel (about 1 hour). Regulatory research, documentation, quarantine arrangements, airline coordination, etc. are handled and supported by our company on your behalf.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-item\">\n<div class=\"pa-faq-q\">If I cancel during the course of the program, will I get a refund?<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-a\">As a general rule, cancellations for the customer's convenience after the contract has been concluded are non-refundable. Please check the Terms and Conditions at the time of contract for details. In addition, additional costs may be incurred in the event of a schedule change.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u30bb\u30af\u30b7\u30e7\u30f39: PetAirJPN\u306b\u76f8\u8ac7\u3059\u308b\u3068\u697d\u306b\u306a\u308b\u30b1\u30fc\u30b9 --><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PetAirJPN%E3%81%AB%E7%9B%B8%E8%AB%87%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E3%81%A8%E6%A5%BD%E3%81%AB%E3%81%AA%E3%82%8B%E3%82%B1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B9\"><\/span>Cases where consulting PetAirJPN is easier.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"pa-country-grid\">\n<div class=\"pa-country-card\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%93%8B_%E6%9B%B8%E9%A1%9E%E3%81%8C%E5%A4%9A%E3%81%8F%E3%81%A6%E4%BD%95%E3%81%8B%E3%82%89%E5%A7%8B%E3%82%81%E3%82%8C%E3%81%B0%E3%81%84%E3%81%84%E3%81%8B%E3%82%8F%E3%81%8B%E3%82%89%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84\"><\/span>\ud83d\udccb So much paperwork, I don't know where to start.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Microchipping, vaccines, antibody titer testing, health certificates, export inspections... we will organize the necessary procedures and provide you with priorities and schedules all in one place.<\/li>\n<li>We can also check document formats and descriptions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-country-card\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%8C%8D_%E6%B8%A1%E8%88%AA%E5%85%88%E3%81%AE%E8%BC%B8%E5%85%A5%E8%A6%81%E4%BB%B6%E3%81%8C%E8%A4%87%E9%9B%91\"><\/span>\ud83c\udf0d Complex import requirements for destination countries<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>We can handle complex requirements based on our experience, such as Australia's mooring quarantine, Hawaii's advance entry permit, and compliance with new EU regulations.<\/li>\n<li>We can also liaise with the quarantine authorities and local agents in each country.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-country-card\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%92%BC_%E4%BB%95%E4%BA%8B%E3%81%A8%E4%B8%A6%E8%A1%8C%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6%E6%BA%96%E5%82%99%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E6%99%82%E9%96%93%E3%81%8C%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84\"><\/span>\ud83d\udcbc No time to prepare along with work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>While you are busy just preparing for overseas assignment or emigration, it is a big burden to deal with the pet transportation procedures on your own!<\/li>\n<li>We can reduce the burden on the owner by conducting regulatory research, documentation, quarantine arrangements, and airline coordination on your behalf.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-country-card\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%90%B6_%E7%89%B9%E6%AE%8A%E3%81%AA%E3%82%B1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B9%E3%81%A7%E4%B8%8D%E5%AE%89%E3%81%8C%E3%81%82%E3%82%8B\"><\/span>\ud83d\udc36 I have concerns about special cases.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Flexible handling of cases with more complicated conditions than usual, such as large dogs, elderly pets, short-breed pets, and multi-pet households<\/li>\n<li>We can assist you in selecting airlines and routes, including advice on cages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u30bb\u30af\u30b7\u30e7\u30f310: \u51fa\u767a\u524d\u30c1\u30a7\u30c3\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30c8 + \u307e\u3068\u3081CTA --><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E5%87%BA%E7%99%BA%E5%89%8D%E3%83%81%E3%82%A7%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88\"><\/span>Pre-departure Checklist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"pa-checklist\">\n<div class=\"pa-check-item\">Microchip (ISO 11784\/11785 standard, 15 digits) already installed and read<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-check-item\">Rabies vaccine has been administered after microchipping (meets destination requirements)<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-check-item\">Clear rabies antibody titer test of 0.5 IU\/ml or higher (in countries that require it)<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-check-item\">Import permit and prior application for the destination country has been obtained (if required by the country)<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-check-item\">Health certificate has been obtained within the validity period prior to departure<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-check-item\">Completed application for export inspection to the animal quarantine office and reserved inspection date<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-check-item\">Pet transportation reservations have been confirmed with the airline (cage size and weight restrictions have been confirmed)<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-check-item\">CDC Dog Import Form has been submitted (for entry into the U.S.)<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-check-item\">EU Animal Health Certificate obtained (for entry into the EU)<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-check-item\">Cage meets airline regulations and IATA standards<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-notice\">\n<strong>Caution:<\/strong>The above are general checklist items.
