🐾 Pet Relocation: Manila to China

Aiden
Hi Doctor, I’m planning to relocate to China and I need to bring my three cats with me. What is the first step for pet export/pet ˈekspɔːrt/宠物出口/出运? 医生您好,我正计划回中国,需要带上我的三只猫。宠物出运的第一步是什么?
Doctor
First, each cat must have an ISO-compliant microchip/ˈmaɪkroʊtʃɪp/微芯片/植入芯片 implanted. Then, they need up-to-date rabies vaccinations and a titer test/ˈtaɪtər test/抗体滴度检测 to prove they have enough antibodies. 首先,每只猫都必须植入符合ISO标准的微芯片。然后,它们需要接种最新的狂犬病疫苗,并进行抗体滴度检测,以证明它们有足够的抗体。

I heard that China has a strict quarantine policy/ˈkwɔːrəntiːn ˈpɑːləsi/隔离政策. If I complete all the blood tests in the Philippines, can my cats avoid being locked up at the border? 我听说中国有严格的隔离政策。如果我在菲律宾完成所有血检,我的猫能避免在边境被关起来隔离吗?
Doctor
Yes, if you provide a valid report from an authorized lab, they can qualify for quarantine exemption/ˈkwɔːrəntiːn ɪɡˈzempʃn/隔离豁免. You also need a **Health Certificate** from the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI). 是的,如果您提供官方授权实验室的有效报告,它们就可以申请隔离豁免。您还需要一份菲律宾动物产业局(BAI)发放的健康证明。

That’s a relief. What about the flight? Do they travel in the cargo hold/ˈkɑːrɡoʊ hoʊld/货舱, or can I take them into the cabin with me? 那我就放心了。那飞行怎么办?它们是待在货舱里,还是我可以带它们进客舱?
Doctor
It depends on the airline's pet policy/pet ˈpɑːləsi/宠物规定. Most international flights require cats to be in an IATA-approved travel crate/ˈtrævl kreɪt/旅行航空箱. Make sure to book their space early! 这取决于航空公司的宠物规定。大多数国际航班要求猫必须装在IATA认可的旅行航空箱里。一定要早点预订它们的位置!
