There is also a 2 week quarantine from the U.K. Residents.
Listed on the pettravelstore.com, and lists only certain countries, the other information on that is standard for all animals traveling from the U.S. I have a call into the Pettravelstore.com, they are giving out the wrong information.

> > I am going to say also some countries need permits to enter as well in
