How to Bring Pets to China from Abroad?
Recently some friends inquired how to bring pets to China from abroad. Today, iReloChina will talk about this topic.
近期有朋友询问如何从境外携带宠物入境中国？今天，赞居就来聊聊这个话题。
Chinese law allows entry personnel to bring pets (dogs or cats) into China, and one person can only bring one pet per entry. Pets brought into China must be subject to customs quarantine and supervision in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Customs Law of the People's Republic of China and the Law of the People's Republic of China on Entry-Exit Animal and Plant Quarantine and its implementation regulations.
中国法律允许入境人员携带宠物（犬、猫）入境，1名携带人每次入境仅限携带1只宠物。携带入境的宠物必须依据《中华人民共和国海关法》、《中华人民共和国进出境动植物检疫法》及其实施条例的相关规定，接受海关检疫监管。
