IMPORTATION OF EXOTIC ANIMALS

Restrictions on import to Belarus are applied to animals subject to the Convention on international trade of endangered wild fauna and flora species. The import of such animals must be authorized by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection of Belarus. In addition, the person meeting the tourist in Belarus must obtain a veterinary certificate for exotic animals from the head department of State Veterinary Inspection at the border and on transport. This certificate is presented together with the certificate specifying the vaccinations upon the import of animals. Thus, to import a monkey to Belarus from an African country, there should be an AIDS mark in the veterinary certificate and the health certificate.
