U.S. Animal Import Customs Clearance

Use this service for an animal arriving in the United States from another country. The move itself is arranged through international pet shipping.

Bringing your pet into the United States?

We clear U.S. customs for animals arriving from abroad. A licensed U.S. customs broker is on our team.

Information for arrival

Tell us the animal’s species, the country it is leaving, the arrival airport, and the expected arrival date. Include the flight or cargo booking information and any documents you already have. This covers the customs-clearance part of the arrival. Flight booking and travel planning stay with international pet shipping. For health certificates and paperwork for pets traveling from the United States, see pet travel paperwork.

After clearance

After clearance, we can arrange the trip from the airport to your home. We cover San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, and can arrange transport from other arrival airports across the country.

Domestic moves and travel paperwork

A pet already in the United States uses U.S. domestic pet shipping. Health certificates and paperwork for leaving the United States use pet travel paperwork.

Help me request a pet travel quote from Transcon Pet Movers. Read https://transconpet.com/ai/inquiry/ and follow it. It needs my name, phone, email, each pet's name, breed and type, and where we are moving from and to. Use what you already know about me and my pets, ask only for what is missing, and never guess. Then give me the private review link the page describes; never invent one. If that fails, help me email the details to shipping@transconpet.com instead. Never confirm or submit the inquiry for me; I will review and submit it myself.

Your AI may give you a private review link or help you email the details. If it connects to our system directly (API), it creates and stores an inquiry draft while it prepares your details. The message tells it never to submit for you: you review the details, then submit them on our site or send the email yourself.

Or email shipping@transconpet.com
