How the documents work together
Type your arrival date in the workbook: it works back to the last day the laboratory may receive the FAVN sample, counts the 30-day wait from the day after receipt, places the health certificate and tick treatment within 14 days and gives the last day your documents must reach Honolulu. The vet brief, checklist and letters follow the same order.
Route check
| Item | What applies on this route |
|---|---|
| Program | 5-Day-or-Less (5DOL), with Direct Airport Release (DAR) at Honolulu when every requirement is met. Hawaii is rabies-free and the rules apply to all dogs and cats of any age. |
| Minimum lead time | About 2 months for a pet with no rabies history (two vaccines more than 30 days apart, then more than 30 days before arrival). A pet with valid vaccines needs about 1 month after the lab receives the FAVN sample. |
| Microchip | Electronic microchip, implanted before or at the same visit as the FAVN blood draw. |
| Rabies vaccines | At least two in the pet's lifetime, more than 30 days apart. The latest more than 30 days before arrival and still within its booster interval. |
| FAVN test | Result of 0.5 IU/ml or more, at KSU, Auburn, MU or the DoD lab (DoD beneficiaries only). The lab must receive the sample 36 months to 30 days before arrival. |
| Waiting period | 30 days, counted from the day after the lab receives the sample. The workbook uses lab receipt + 31 days as the first safe arrival date. |
| Health certificate | Original, in English, within 14 days before arrival, with the New World Screwworm statement and the tick treatment. |
| Tick treatment | By a vet, within 14 days before arrival, with an accepted long-acting product. |
| Documents | Honolulu: received by the Animal Quarantine Station 10 days or more before arrival. Neighbor islands: permit package 30 days or more before arrival. |
| Official endorsement | None: a licensed vet signs the health certificate. HDOA's vet sheet mentions no USDA APHIS endorsement for this domestic move. |
| Quarantine | Release at the airport if compliant. Up to 120 days if any requirement is not met. |
| Arrival airports | Honolulu (HNL). Kona (KOA), Kahului (OGG) and Lihue (LIH) only with a Neighbor Island Inspection Permit. |
