Import of pets – DGFT amends circular
The DGFT Circular No. 29/6.10.2005, states – “ As per Customs Circular No. 94/2002 dated 23.12.2002 import of pets (dog and cat only) upto two numbers per passenger have been allowed without import licence at one time subject to the production of the required health certificate from the country of origin and examination of the said pets by the concerned Quarantine Officer. However, it is not covered under the said circular, it will be subject to import licence.” This it should have been if. And this is corrected now. This sentence will now read as, “However, if it is not covered under the said circular, it will be subject to an import licence.”
