We receive daily requests for estimates to move pets from overseas origins, for example Okinawa, Japan to mainland USA.

Today’s TSA (Transportation Safety Administration) rules and regulations for the acceptance of unaccompanied air cargo shipments from outside the USA to mainland USA requires a broker, forwarder, cargo agent/agency to originate the unaccompanied air cargo live animal shipment from the origin; not the destination.

Should you be returning to the USA from outside of the US assignment and have a pet dog, cat, bird, etc. the shipment must be organized at the origin of the shipment.
