| Procedure For
Transporting to Japan
Australia is a rabies free country as is Japan. Unlike other
neighbouring countries, European countries, USA and Britain, kittens
and puppies from Australia are therefore allowed entry into Japan
from an early age foregoing the need of extensive waiting periods of
quarantine (which in some cases can be from 6 even up to 9
months).
The procedure is relatively simple; we do all the organising on
your behalf which covers freight, international airline approved
cage, vaccinations (F4), micro- chip, parasite treatments,
veterinarian inspections and certification, paperwork. All these are
compulsory before the kitten is allowed entry into Japan.
Please Note: You are required to obtain an
Import Permit. Please view Import
Permit/Authorisation, MAFF Quarantine Dept. Japan www.maff-aqs.go.jp/english to allow your kitten
entry into the country. This permit must be obtained 40
days prior to kitten departing Australia.
Once you have obtained this permit and informed us of the details
all you will need to do is arrive at Tokyo, Osaka or Sapporo
International Airport at a pre-arranged time and date for collection
of your kitten. During our regular correspondence we will advise you
of the complete procedure to collect your kitten from the Quarantine
Inspection Office located within the airport. Dogtainers will also
have your phone number and will contact you accordingly to confirm
all details or will notify you of any flight changes should they
occur, such as arrival time. And of course I’m always in phone
contact too, any day, any hour!
During your kitten’s growth we will email weekly with updates
and photos so that you can enjoy watching your kitten grow. Within
our regular correspondence we will advise you of all necessary
details to complete a hassle-free procedure in obtaining a
MoonShadow Ragdoll kitten. We will also work in with yourself a
pre-arranged time and date for collection of your kitten from the
Quarantine Inspection Office located within your local Airport.
Dogtainers will be given your phone number and will contact you
accordingly to confirm all details or will notify you of any flight
changes should they occur, such as arrival time. Of course I’m
always in phone contact too, any day, any hour!
Your kitten will come vaccinated and micro chipped together with
no less then 2 accredited vet inspections plus our local
veterinarian health check. They will also have come bathed, flea and
worm treated.
