New Import Procedures for Pet Dogs and Cats Streamline Process Under Livestock Importation Act, 1898

March 7, 2025

Circulars     Customs

The CBIC has implemented new procedures for importing pet dogs and cats under the Live-stock Importation Act, 1898. The final "No Objection Certificate" will now be issued round-the-clock at the port of entry itself, eliminating the need for pet owners to visit Animal Quarantine and Certification Service Stations (AQCS) post-import. Pet owners must still obtain advance NoC from respective AQCS after submitting required documents and providing prior arrival information via email. Imports are restricted to designated ports including Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi airports, and Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata seaports/airports. This facilitation measure aims to enhance pet welfare and reduce complications for owners importing pets under baggage rules.
