Hi,
Sorry for the cross post, just would like to make sure I get answers due to
the short time I'm working with.
The situation is that I'm scheduled to travel to Hungary on May 10 with my
guide dog.
I received some information on what paperwork I need to have filled out,
but it is pretty confusing.
I have an appointment with my vet on Monday morning to fill out the forms.
I would like to make sure I have everything covered and I don't need to
part with my dog along the way.
I called each airline I'm traveling with, and had them add a note that I'll
be traveling with my dog. As I understand, it is not necessary, but I heard
too many horror stories recently.
I called the USDA, and I was advised that since they don't have a desk at
the Cleveland airport, I need to send them the forms to be certified.
I need to give these forms to a certified vet, within ten days of my
arrival to Hungary.
One form is an English-Hungarian bilingual form about non-commercial animal
movement:
https://www.aphis.usda.gov/regulations/vs/iregs/animals/downloads/hu_pet_non_comm_fil_hc_ab.pdf
The other is the dog's health certificate.
Is this the APHIS7001 form? Is this different from the English-Hungarian
form?
Is there any other forms I will need?
I also read that I will have to enclose a check, but when I called the USDA
they never told me about this, I only found this info online today.
Is this correct? Who do I make this check to?
Is this the correct address I need to send the forms to?
12927 Stonecreek Drive
Pickerington, OH
The forms and instructions do not contain an address.
Thank you for all your help!
Tom
