Pet Transport from Indonesia to China
Which China rules depend on a pet coming from Indonesia?
China sorts countries into 2 groups, and Indonesia falls in “Non-designated countries or regions”.
Exempt from quarantine only with a valid microchip, a rabies antibody report of at least 0.5 IU/ml from a GACC-accepted laboratory and a satisfactory on-site inspection; otherwise 30 days at a customs-designated quarantine site, entering at a port with quarantine facilities Official source
These rules apply to that group, on top of the rules every pet follows:
- Rabies titre test: Exemption 2: pets from non-designated countries are exempt from quarantine if microchipped, with a rabies antibody report from a GACC-accepted laboratory showing at least 0.5 IU/ml, and passing on-site inspection. Applies to dogs and cats from non-designated countries or regions.
