Barbados Pet Import/Export Requirements

Barbados pet import/export requirements are as follows:
Dogs and cats may enter Barbados from any country in the world provided they meet the import requirements. Pet owners must first obtain an import permit, along with a health certificate issued by the animal’s country of origin.
The import permit must be obtained from the Veterinary Services Department, located at the Pine, St. Michael. Once completed and approved, the permit is valid for six months from the date of issue.
The export health certificate is referred to as an Official Export Health Certificate 1, which is a document signed and stamped by the Official Veterinary Services of the country of origin, and must be completed in English.
The import health requirements will differ depending on the category of country. Barbados divides countries into one of two categories based on their rabies risk. Category 1: Countries and territories that are rabies free or those that present a low risk with respect to rabies, including the United States, Canada, and European Union Member Countries. Category 2: All other countries and territories. Animals traveling by sea (e.g. on yachts, cruise ships and cargo vessels) also fall into this category
Regardless of origin, all dogs and cats entering Barbados must be permanently identified with a microchip and vaccinated against rabies after the microchip has been implanted.
Airlines may have separate and additional requirements. Check with your airline to determine what requirements they may have, if any.
