Which Luxembourg rules depend on a pet coming from Peru?
The EU sorts non-EU countries into groups, and Peru falls in “Non-listed third countries and territories”.
Rabies antibody titration test required: sample taken by an authorised veterinarian at least 30 days after primary vaccination and not less than 90 days before the animal health certificate is issued, tested in an EU-designated laboratory, result at least 0.5 IU/ml. The 90-day wait does not apply to re-entry of an EU-resident pet whose passport documents a favourable test done before leaving the EU. Official source
These rules apply to that group, on top of the rules every pet follows:
- Rabies titre test: Where required (non-listed origins), the test must measure a level of neutralising antibody to rabies virus in serum of at least 0.5 IU/ml, done in a designated laboratory. Neither the EC page nor 2026/131 (which refers to point 1 of Annex XXI to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692) names a test method such as FAVN or RFFIT. Applies to dogs and cats from non-listed third countries.
Bringing a pet into the EU from a non-EU country, checked 1 October 2026 - Rabies titre test: The test must be done by an official laboratory designated under Article 37 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, or by a laboratory in a third country listed in Annex VIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 designated in line with Article 37(4) and (5) of that Regulation; only laboratories specifically accredited for the method may do it, so the laboratory need not be in the EU. The EC publishes the lists of designated laboratories. Applies to dogs and cats from non-listed third countries.
Designated laboratories for performing rabies antibody titration tests, checked 1 October 2026 - Rabies titre test: The blood sample must be taken by an authorised veterinarian at least 30 days after the primary vaccination (or within a current valid vaccination series) and not less than 90 days before the animal health certificate is issued.

FAQ
Common questions about Peru to Luxembourg pet transport
Allow at least 20 weeks from starting preparations to travel day. Some steps involve mandatory waiting periods that cannot be shortened, so starting early is the only way to keep to your schedule.
Yes, and the date the clock starts from is the part people get wrong. Peru is not a listed third country for EU pet travel, so the pet needs a rabies antibody test of at least 0.5 IU/ml from an EU-approved laboratory, with the blood drawn at least 30 days after the rabies vaccination. The three-month wait then runs from the date the blood was sampled, not the date the result comes back. Laboratories can take two to four weeks to report, so counting from the result adds a month you do not owe. Source: European Commission, movement of pet animals.
Your pet needs a government-issued veterinary health certificate from an official vet in Peru. The certificate must be issued within 10 days of travel. Present the original (not a copy) at check-in. Check Luxembourg’s authority for the exact format required.
