Form 5 D O L PDF Details

Bringing your beloved pet to Hawaii, a paradise known for its strict animal importation laws intended to preserve its rabies-free status, necessitates understanding and strictly adhering to the 5-Day-Or-Less program checklist. This detailed and comprehensive guide is indispensable for pet owners aiming to minimize the time their dog or cat must spend in quarantine upon arrival in the islands. To qualify, pet owners must successfully navigate through a series of steps including ensuring their pet has received at least two rabies vaccinations in its lifetime, with the most recent one being administered within a specific timeframe before arrival. The pet also needs to be microchipped and must undergo a blood test at an approved laboratory to check for rabies antibodies. A crucial component is planning; the blood test results and the 120-day waiting period from the time of the blood sample’s receipt to the day of arrival in Hawaii dictate the timeline for the pet’s entry into the state. Documentation is key, requiring original vaccination certificates, health certificates, and proof of treatments for pests, all submitted according to precise instructions to avoid any delays or disqualifications which could lead to your pet being quarantined for up to 120 days. Additionally, the guidelines underline the importance of scheduling and compliance with various checks and procedural requirements upon arrival to ensure that pets can be released directly from the airport or enter the 5-day-or-less quarantine program, rather than facing a longer stay. This checklist not only outlines the necessary steps but also serves as a reminder of the meticulous planning and strict adherence to regulations required for a smooth and expedient process, highlighting the owner's responsibility to ensure all requirements are met for their pet’s direct release or reduced quarantine period in Hawaii.

All steps need to be completed to qualify for this program. If you are unable to meet the following requirements, your pet will undergo quarantine for up to 120 days.

Step 1 RABIES VACCINATIONS

1The pet must have been vaccinated at least two times for rabies in its lifetime.

1These rabies vaccines were administered more than 30 days apart.

1The most recent rabies vaccination was done:

1Not more than the vaccine’s licensed booster interval listed on the manufacturer’s label; and

1Not less than 90 days before the pet’s date of arrival in Hawaii.

NOTE! Two rabies vaccinations are required. The pet’s most recent rabies vaccination must not be expired when your pet arrives in Hawaii. Following the most recent rabies vaccination, animals must wait at least 90 days before arriving in Hawaii. If arrival occurs before 90 days has elapsed from the most recent rabies vaccination, the animal is subject to quarantine until 90 days are completed.

1The date and type of vaccine must be indicated on the pet’s vaccination and health certificates.

Most Recent Vaccination Date: __________ ___ Type of vaccine : 1 1-year 1 3-year 1 4-year

Previous Vaccination Date: ______________

Step 2 MICROCHIP (Microchip number: _______________________)

1The dog or cat has an electronic microchip implanted (Required before an OIE-FAVN rabies blood test is performed).

1The microchip has recently been scanned by a veterinarian to verify that it is working and that the microchip number is correct. NOTE! Make sure the microchip is working!

1If any pet cannot be identified by scanning the microchip, it will not qualify for either direct airport release or the 5-day-or-less quarantine and will be assigned to 120 days quarantine.

Step 3 OIE-FAVN RABIES BLOOD TEST

Date sample received by Kansas State University (KSU) or the DOD lab: ____________________

Planned Arrival Date (must be 120 days after KSU DOD received sample)________________

(WARNING! A passing test is only valid for 36 months)

1The day after KSU or DOD received your pet’s blood sample must not be more than 36 months and not less than 120 days before the date of arrival in Hawaii.

Note! Be aware that use of an intermediate lab (Antech, Idexx, etc.) may delay the date KSU and DOD receives your pet’s sample.

1The result of the pet’s blood test was greater than or equal to 0.5 IU/ml.

1The test was done at an approved lab (Kansas State University or the DOD Food Analysis and Diagnostic Laboratory in Texas)

1Retain a copy of this successful blood test result showing the pet’s microchip number from the veterinarian for your records. Do not contact the laboratory directly. Make sure your veterinarian lists: “HAWAII” as the destination on the blood test submission form. KSU and DOD will then automatically send your pet’s results to Hawaii.

Rev. 10/09

 

 

 

 

WARNING! Arriving anytime before the 120-day waiting period has elapsed will

 

 

result in disqualification of a pet from the 5-day-or-less quarantine program and

 

 

direct airport release

 

 

IMPORTANT! : The waiting period begins the day after KSU or DOD received the

 

 

blood sample for the OIE-FAVN test. The test must also have a result > 0.5 IU/ml.

 

 

All pets arriving before the eligible date of entry will be quarantined and assessed

 

 

$14.30 each day in addition to applicable program fees. There are no exceptions.

 

 

 

 

Following a successful OIE-FAVN test result, animals must wait at least 120 days before arriving in Hawaii. If arrival occurs before 120 days has elapsed, the animal is subject to quarantine until 120 days are completed.

1Your pet must complete the 120-day waiting period before arriving in Hawaii or your pet will not qualify for either direct airport release or the 5-day-or-less quarantine program.

Step 5 DOCUMENTS

1Original ink signature or carbon copy rabies vaccination certificates for the two most recent rabies vaccinations the pet received are required. (Photocopies and computer generated certificates are not accepted.)

1The vaccination certificates must have the vaccine name, lot or serial number, booster interval, vaccination date and vaccine lot expiration date listed.

1An original health certificate in English, done within 14 days of arrival in Hawaii including rabies vaccine name, lot or serial number, booster interval, vaccination date and expiration date is required.

1A veterinarian must treat the pet for ticks with a product containing Fipronil or an equivalent long-acting product labeled to kill ticks (Revolution® is not acceptable) within 14 days of arrival and the product name and date of treatment must be recorded on the pet’s health certificate.

1If you are applying for re-entry under the same OIE-FAVN blood test and rabies vaccinations that have not expired yet, you must have a copy of the Airport Release card given to you when your pet was released at the airport on a previous arrival in Hawaii.

Step 6 SUBMISSION OF DOCUMENTS

Send documents and payment to: Animal Quarantine Station, 99-951 Halawa Valley Street, Aiea, Hawaii 96701.

Note! Do not send each document in separately. Send all documents (Dog & Cat Import Form, two rabies vaccination certificates, payment) in as a set more than 10 days before arrival. Faxes and photocopies are not accepted!

1Be sure to allow adequate time for delivery to ensure your documents are received by the Rabies Quarantine Branch more than 10 days before your pet arrives in Hawaii for direct release. (Failure to send documents as instructed can disqualify a pet from airport release.)

1If you do not send the original health certificate to the Rabies Quarantine Branch in advance of your pet’s arrival when you submit your other documents, you must provide the health certificate upon arrival at the Airport Animal Quarantine Holding Facility. Failure to bring the original health certificate (photocopy not acceptable), will prevent your pet from being released.
