Recommendations for entering with your pet
If you wish to travel to Mexico with your pet (dog or cat), you must contact the personnel of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries, and Food (SAGARPA), who will issue you a zoosanitary certificate.
Present a health certificate, the original and a simple copy (more than one pet may be included on the same certificate), issued by an official or private veterinarian; in the latter case, it must be issued on letterhead, with the number or copy of the professional license printed and a signature.
The health certificate must meet the following requirements:
Name and address of the exporter (the person who keeps the pet abroad and the address of the country of origin or origin) and importer (the person bringing the pet into Mexico and the destination address in Mexico).
State that the animal(s) have been vaccinated against rabies, and indicate the date of vaccination and its validity. Animals under three months of age are exempt from this requirement.
Specify that, during the pre-travel inspection, the animal(s) were found to be clinically healthy.
State that the animal(s) have undergone preventive treatment against internal and external parasites within the previous six months and are free of ectoparasites. (Not required for pets whose country of origin and provenance is the United States of America or Canada.)
Conditions for your pet’s entry:
Your pet must enter Mexico in a clean carrier, container, kennel, or other type of container, without bedding or similar materials, or implements or accessories. Otherwise, they will be removed by official personnel from the National Service for Agri-Food Health, Safety, and Quality (SENASICA) for destruction. Said carrier receives preventive spraying treatment by SAGARPA-SENASICA personnel.
Food
You may bring in dry food in bulk, corresponding to the daily ration and accompanied by the pet; or a 50-pound bag, the equivalent of 22.680 kilograms per family or its equivalent in kilograms. It may be presented in a single package or up to two as long as it does not exceed the permitted quantity. Otherwise, it must come from countries that have a combination of requirements in the Zoosanitary Requirements Consultation Module for Importation, packaged, labeled, and free of ruminant content.
If you are sending your pet with documentation:
It is important that you verify the requirements with the airline of your choice and consider the need to use the services of a customs broker located in Mexico for its clearance through customs, after complying with the non-tariff regulations of SAGARPA-SENASICA.
If you are transporting one to three pets,
The process for issuing the zoosanitary certificate for import is free.
In the case of other pet species, you must do the following:
If you wish to enter Mexico with any animal other than a dog or cat, such as canaries, ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, budgerigars, cockatiels, parakeets, turtles, or small wild birds (except raptors), you must comply with the requirements indicated in the Zoosanitary Import Requirements Consultation Module in order to obtain the zoosanitary certificate for import.
Compliance with the regulations established by SAGARPA-SENASICA does not exempt you from complying with regulations issued by other authorities at the point of entry into Mexico.
Therefore, upon passing through customs, do the following:
Present the customs personnel with the animal health certificate for the import of your pet or companion animal, issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries, and Food – National Service of Health, Safety, and Agri-Food Quality.
For wildlife animals, in addition to the animal health certificate for import, you must present the Verification Record issued by the Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection, which verifies compliance with the non-tariff regulations or restrictions to which they are subject.
Because this type of merchandise is prohibited or regulated, you may not bring in:
Narcotics.
Live predatory fish of any size.
Images of any kind that depict children in a degrading or ridiculous manner, in attitudes that incite violence or destruction.
Used clothing and footwear that are not part of your personal luggage.
Weapons and ammunition.
