Key Requirements for Importing Pets to Indonesia
Microchip: Each pet must have a microchip that complies with ISO Standard 11784 or Annex A to ISO standard 11785 for identification.
Rabies Vaccination and Certificate: Pets must have an original Rabies Certificate with the microchip number, date of inoculation, and vaccination validity. Ensure the vaccine is inactivated and that your pet is up-to-date on all other vaccinations.
Rabies Titer / FAVN-OIE Tests: A FAVN blood test is required to verify adequate rabies antibody levels. The test result must be 0.5 IU/ml or above for entry qualification. The sample must be approved by an authorized government facility (e.g., the USDA).
Additional Vaccines: Dogs need Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, and Parvovirus (DHLP) vaccines. Cats need Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia (FVRCP) vaccines. All vaccines must be given 21 days to one year before departure.
Import Permit: Obtain an Import Permit from the Department of Agriculture by providing a copy of your passport, a valid health certificate, and your pet's vaccination book. The permit, valid for 30 days, usually takes about 14 days to receive.
Vet Health Certificate (Form 7001): A USDA-accredited veterinarian must issue this certificate 4-5 days before the flight. It must state that the pet shows no clinical signs of certain diseases (Aujeszky's disease, Distemper, Rabies, Leishmaniasis, Leptospirosis, Tuberculosis).
USDA Endorsements: The above forms must be sent to the local USDA office for approval.
