Exporting Pets from Sri Lanka: Step-by-Step Guide

Relocating from Sri Lanka with a pet means meeting both Sri Lankan export rules and your destination country's import requirements. Missing a single document can delay departure by weeks.

Export process overview

1. Veterinary examination — Your pet must be fit to fly and up to date on required vaccinations.
2. Export permit — Applied through DAPH with supporting health documentation.
3. Destination import permit — Many countries require advance approval before the pet leaves Sri Lanka.
4. Airline booking — Pets travel as manifest cargo or in-cabin where permitted.

Crate and travel day

IATA-compliant crates are mandatory for most international routes. We ensure your crate meets airline dimensions and that your pet is comfortable before travel day.
