PET IMPORT PERMIT

You are the exporter (home address) and the importer (hotel address) I reckon.
"State whether Bovine, Porcine, Caprine, Canine, Feline or any other species"

Thanks for the suggestion - I tried that but they rejected it as I don't have fax numbers for either party (our nearest fax is in the museum!).

I also sent an email to Pet Express at the airport – they replied within 1 hour and seem very professional and efficient. Not cheap but what price peace of mind?

BTW apparently the form I was using is out of date. Previously it asked for importer and consignee (?) it has now been changed to importer and consignor which makes more sense.

Great, glad you got to the bottom of it!

I recently brought two dogs from the UK but had to use exporters that end and importers this end as the UK government won't allow pets as excess baggage.  It cost and arm and a leg.  The permits were handled by importers this end.  Have a word [email protected] or [email protected]

Our Mitzi weighs in at only 3kg including box and Turkish Airways have no problem with her in cabin but gram for gram she's fast becoming the most expensive dog on the planet 

And yes, we are in contact with Shanaka who has been great but we still have to pay $200 for an Exporters Permit and another $200 for an Import Permit. They'll be meeting us on arrival with the permits to save the cost and probable futility of DHL express – addresses in Ukraine can e somewhat confusing.

All hopefully sorted now, thanks.

You are lucky.  My costs to Petexpress came to about $1800 for the two dogs.  Most of that on so called customs import charges.  Despite several emails to customs to ask if the costs were right, no reply.  I could find nothing on the internet to support their charges
