International import regulations for pet rabbits

Traveling internationally with a rabbit will require much more research and care than traveling domestically. Below are import regulations and other information for pet rabbits for various countries.

Australia
At this time, rabbits may only be imported from New Zealand. A post-arrival quarantine of 14 days is required.

Canada
For importation of pet rabbits from countries other than the US, there are permit and quarantine requirements. See Import of Pet Rabbits from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for more information.

Germany

New Zealand
At this time, rabbits may only be imported from Australia. An import permit is required.

Singapore
See the document Veterinary Conditions for the Importation of Pet Animals - Small Mammals for exact requirements. The owner must be able to prove that the rabbit has been kept for at least six months before import, otherwise the animal must be placed under quarantine at Sembawang Animal Quarantine Station.

United Kingdom
A direct flight to the UK from a non-EU country will require a 4 month quarantine before your pet rabbit can join your home.

If you are willing to do some more work, you can evade the quarantine for your pet rabbit by travelling through a EU country before your destination. Some experiences and more information can be found in the following links.
