Simplified version: Upon arrival of your shipment (pet) in Doha Qatar, you will be required to submit your Identification and the corresponding approved import permit of your pet. At the same time, an airline personnel will provide the original documents (from point of origin) that your pet has been travelling with. From here on, there will be a series of steps to go through until your pet is cleared and handed over to you.

It is advised that your pets arrive at their destination during the week and preferably during normal office hours. This will ensure timely clearance through Customs and the

presiding State Veterinarian while avoiding additional charges.

Where applicable and unless stated otherwise, the consignee is responsible for import

Permit, Import Customs, and Clearance at destination.
