VIII. AGREEMENT

I intend to enter the above-described animal into the State of Hawaii in compliance with the provisions of Hawaii Administrative Rules (“HAR”) Chapter 4-29. I hereby agree to pay to the Department of Agriculture, in full at the time the animal enters Hawaii, or enters quarantine in Hawaii, whichever happens first, the total amount of fees prescribed by those Rules for the required program. A summary of the fees is as follows: $165 for direct airport release; $224 for 5-day-or-less quarantine; $145 for Neighbor Island Inspection Permit; or $1,080 for 120-day quarantine. The prescribed fee for animals transiting to other destinations is $30 registration fee; $15 health record fee; plus $14.30 per day. In addition, a fee will be assessed for animals that remain in quarantine beyond the scheduled release date, at the rate of $17.80 per day. Arrival before the eligible date will result in charges of $14.30 per day plus additional program fees. Any refund of fees will be in accordance with HAR § 4-29-17. Allow six to eight weeks after the animal’s release from quarantine for any refunds.

I further agree to pay, prior to release of the animal, for any additional owner-approved services, and for any services deemed necessary by the station veterinarian to ensure the health and safety of the animal. I will immediately notify the animal quarantine station in writing of any changes in address or contact information during the time the animal is in the custody of the HDOA; and I acknowledge that any animal remaining in quarantine ninety (90) days or more after the scheduled release date, for any reason, shall be deemed abandoned and may be disposed of at the discretion of the animal quarantine manager, including placement by adoption or euthanasia, without further notice and without liability on the part of the State or the Department of Agriculture. I acknowledge that the fees and requirements above are a summary of the exact requirements that are established by HAR Chapter 4-29, and that those rules and applicable law govern all aspects of the animal quarantine program. Additional summary information and references are posted at hawaii.gov/hdoa/ai/aqs/info.
