Days ago, a foreign couple living in Bao’an reached out to us via the wechat official account and asked us how to apply for pet export. The couple, from Germany and Hungary respectively, is planning to fly to Hungary from Hong Kong in early June. After receiving the inquiry, we quickly got to know the relevant information, and helped them go through the whole process of preparing the paperwork and on-site handling.
前几天，一对住在宝安的外国夫妇通过公众号联系上了我们，向我们咨询如何携带宠物狗出境，他们分别来自德国和匈牙利，将于六月初从香港飞往匈牙利，接到咨询后，我们迅速了解相关资讯，全程协助他们准备相关材料，并带领他们到海关进行现场办理。
