Pet Immigration Rules American Samoa

REGULATIONS FOR TAKING A PET DOG OR CAT TO AMERICAN SAMOA

American Samoa requires an Import Application for entry.

Pets traveling to American Samoa must spend 120 days in quarantine in a rabies free country such as Hawaii or the United Kingdom. In order to enter a rabies free country, a Blood Titer Test will be required.

Additionally, American Samoa requires that your pet be vaccinated for rabies not more than 12 months and not less than 30 days prior to travel. A USDA (or CFIA) accredited veterinarian must then complete the American Samoa Veterinary Certificate for endorsement by the USDA or CFIA if traveling from the United States or Canada. If you are not traveling from either of these countries, the Governing Authority of your country should endorse the forms. A copy of the Rabies Certificate and Blood Titer Test should also be included.

Additionally, American Samoa also requires a Ticks & Tapeworm Test just prior to travel.

Failure to comply with these regulations will mean that your pet may be refused entry and that the relevant authority in consultation with an authorized veterinarian can decide to return the pet home, or place the pet in quarantine at the expense of the owner or natural person responsible for pet, or as a last resort, without financial compensation, put the pet down where the return trip home or quarantine cannot be arranged.

All other pets (birds, invertebrates, tropical fish, reptiles, amphibia, mammals such as rodents and rabbits) are not subject to the regulations in respect of the anti-rabies vaccination but may have to meet other requirements as to a limit on the number of animals and a certificate to accompany them in respect of other diseases. Pet owners are strongly advised to seek further information from the relevant authority of their country and/or that of the country of destination.
