Why Hawaii is a Special Destination

Preparation in Germany: Organise vaccinations and transport in advance
Health Check and Vaccinations
Before departure, a comprehensive health check with your veterinarian is essential. Ensure your dog or cat has received all necessary vaccinations, particularly against rabies. A valid EU pet passport or an international health certificate is obligatory. Although Germany is considered rabies-free, Hawaii nonetheless has specific requirements. It is advisable to contact your veterinarian early to prepare all necessary documents. GoMovin assists you in coordinating veterinary examinations and obtaining all required documentation. More information on the specific requirements for entering the USA can be found here.
Microchip Requirement
The identification of your pet through a microchip is not only recommended but often mandatory. Ensure the microchip complies with US standards and that your contact details are current. A microchip allows for precise identification of your pet in the event of loss or quarantine. GoMovin provides comprehensive advice on the technical requirements and supports you in registering your pet in the appropriate databases. Remember that correct microchip identification can reduce quarantine time. More about preparation can be found here.
Transport Box and Airline
Choosing the right transport box is crucial for the comfort and safety of your pet during the flight. Ensure the transport box meets IATA regulations and offers sufficient space for your pet to move around. It is advisable to get your pet accustomed to the box early to minimise stress during travel. GoMovin assists you in selecting the suitable transport box and offers tips for accustoming your pet to the box. We consider your pet's specific needs and airline requirements. Information on the guidelines of various airlines can be found online.
Flight Booking and Airline Regulations
Flight booking for your pet should be done early, as capacities can be limited. Familiarise yourself with the regulations of the respective airline regarding the transport of animals. Some airlines offer transport in the passenger cabin, while others prefer cargo transport. Note that specific regulations apply to certain breeds, especially brachycephalic breeds (e.g. Bulldogs, Pugs). GoMovin supports you with the flight booking and advises you on the different transport options. We take into account your pet's specific needs and the airline's requirements. Our logistics expertise ensures smooth transportation.
Quarantine in Hawaii: How to Shorten the Waiting Time
Hawaii's Quarantine Regulations
The quarantine regulations in Hawaii are in place to protect the native wildlife from introduced diseases. All dogs, cats, and other carnivores must be quarantined upon arrival. This measure is intended to minimize the risk of diseases and to protect Hawaii's unique flora and fauna. It is important to understand these regulations and take all necessary steps to keep your pet's quarantine time as short as possible. GoMovin assists you in making all necessary arrangements and optimising the quarantine process. More information about entry requirements.
Quarantine Process
Before entering Hawaii, you must send a pre-notification to the Animal Quarantine Service and submit all required documents, including a health certificate and vaccination records. The application must be submitted in good time to avoid delays upon entry. GoMovin assists you in compiling all the necessary documents and submitting the application to the Animal Quarantine Service. We ensure that all paperwork is complete and correct, to guarantee a smooth quarantine process. The quarantine regulations are strict, but with the right preparation, you can ease the process.
Ways to Shorten Quarantine
There are ways to reduce the quarantine period in Hawaii. If your pet comes from a rabies-free area and has proper microchip identification, the quarantine period can be reduced to as little as 12 hours. However, missing microchip identification can extend the quarantine period to up to 180 days. GoMovin provides comprehensive advice on the conditions for shortened quarantine and assists you in meeting all requirements. We help you take the necessary steps to keep your pet's quarantine period as short as possible. Our relocation assistance services are designed to provide you with the best possible service.
Dogs, cats, birds: Observe the specific entry requirements
Hunde
In Hawaii, there are specific regulations for dogs concerning rabies vaccinations and health certificates. The vaccinations must be up-to-date and substantiated by appropriate documentation. When entering from Germany, EU regulations must be observed, but Hawaii may impose additional requirements. GoMovin assists you in verifying all necessary documents and complying with Hawaii's specific regulations for dogs. We ensure that your dog meets all necessary entry requirements. Please note the current vaccination regulations.
Katzen
Generally, cats are subject to less stringent requirements than dogs, but a health check and compliance with quarantine regulations are still important. Even though the requirements are less extensive, you should not plan entry without careful preparation. GoMovin provides comprehensive advice on the specific requirements for cats and supports you in complying with all regulations. We ensure that your cat can also enter Hawaii without any issues.

Andere Haustiere (Vögel, Nagetiere, Reptilien)
For other pets such as birds, rodents, or reptiles, specific requirements and permits apply. For birds, for instance, a veterinary health certificate is required, and for exotic animals like snakes, you may need a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. GoMovin assists you in obtaining all necessary permits and complying with the specific regulations for other pets. We ensure that your exotic companions can also enter Hawaii safely and legally.
