Petrelocation.com - Today we received notification regarding India's new requirement that all pets have a "No Objection Certificate." This is particularly important, as people intending on pet traveling as accompanied luggage will now need to have an agent apply for this certificate before they enter the country. For assistance with moving your pet to India, feel free to contact us.
Please note that all pets entering into India must be issued a NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE from the ANIMAL QUARANTINE STATION in India whether accompanied or manifest, prior to landing into India.
This document takes about 5 working days to obtain. Documents required prior to obtaining this document are:
(to be sent in copy to India)
1. All vaccination records of the pet
2. Government issued veterinary certificate from the exporting country (USDA document with the Annexure I/II in case of USA )
3. Flight details / confirmation of the passenger's travel into India / Copy of the airway bill
The NOC from the Animal Quarantine Station in India must be obtained by your local clearing agent in India. It is required to be obtained in person and cannot be applied for online.
The NOC is sent to the Shipper by fax or a scanned copy by email . The original must be presented to the Airline in India at the port of entry of the pet before the pet has been loaded in the other country.
If the pet is coming accompanied, the owner of the pet must carry the NOC copy with him at all times. If the pet is coming as manifest cargo , the NOC copy must be attached on the crate in a transparent pouch to protect it from damage .
The Indian government has not made a fixed fee schedule for this document available at the present time.
