The new Hawaii import form, available through the ‘Akamai Arrival’ program, is designed to streamline the process for importing pets into Hawaii. This form is primarily for dogs and cats, but it also includes provisions for other pets such as birds and certain small animals[1][2].
Key Points:
- Digital Submission: The form can be completed and submitted online, making the process more convenient.
- Required Information: You’ll need to provide details about your pet, including health certificates, rabies vaccination records, and any other relevant documentation.
- Pre-Arrival Submission: It’s important to submit the form and all required documents at least 10 days before your pet’s arrival to qualify for direct airport release or the 5-day-or-less quarantine program[1].
- Inspection: Upon arrival, your pet will still need to undergo an inspection by the Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA) to ensure compliance with all regulations[2].
For more detailed information and to access the form, you can visit the Akamai Arrival website.
