Importation of Domestic Cats and Dogs - Inspection Fees

---

Cats and dogs imported into Canada will have a documentary inspection by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to ensure the vaccination is current and the animal description matches. During this visual inspection, CBSA ensures that there is no visible signs of illness. In certain cases, dogs and cats imported will require a Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) inspection for which CFIA inspection fees apply. The fee must be paid at the time of inspection.

For additional information on CBSA fees please visit their website.

The current fees are:

• $30.00 + tax for the first animal in the shipment; and
• $5.00 + tax for each additional animal in the shipment.

If the shipment does not meet Canada's import requirements (even if the animal is being imported from the United States), the animal will be ordered to undergo vaccination against rabies within two weeks of its arrival, and the following fees apply:

• $55.00 + tax for the first animal in the shipment; and
• $30.00 + tax for each additional animal.
