Pet Entry Requirements for the EU in any: what actually matters to know

Short answer
Importing pets to the EU requires an ISO-compliant microchip, a rabies vaccine administered at least 21 days prior, and a titer test followed by a mandatory three-month waiting period. Travel must occur within 10 days of obtaining an EU Health Certificate, and starting July 2025, additional customs duties and VAT may apply.

From real experience

Importing pets from Russia to the EU requires: 1. ISO 11784/11785 microchip (must be implanted before rabies vaccination).
2. Rabies vaccination (at least 21 days before crossing). 3. Rabies antibody titer test (done 30+ days after vaccination, in an EU-accredited lab). 4. Mandatory 3-month waiting period after blood draw. 5. EU Health Certificate issued by a state vet within 10 days of travel. From July 2025, EU regulation 2025/1227 may apply a 50% customs duty + VAT on the animal's assessed value.
