香港宠物出入境主管部门(宠物出国我来帮系列教程之8)

香港是亚洲的金融中心,著名的自由港口,对宠物携带入境的管理比中国大陆要严格不少,因为香港近几十年没有爆发过狂犬病,这既是一个好事情,也是一个坏事情。好的一方面是香港出境前往其他国家比中国大陆出发要简单许多,很多国家对香港的限制很少,相反因为中国大陆是著名的狂犬病多发国家,中国大陆的宠物出发前往世界其他地方要困难很多。坏的一方面是,香港对于其他国家入境管制较严格,目前香港对于入境的宠物是实行分级制度,对全世界的国家分为四个等级进行管理。此外需要注意的是,香港允许个人进口除犬猫之外的大部分非野生动物,而中国大陆只允许个人携带1只犬猫入境,其他动物类的宠物是一律不允许入境的。
