If your flight includes a connection in the continental United States, consider this as your entry into the United States. This will also involve extra Travel Rules.

Be prepared
- Confirm any specific requirements with all Animal Quarantine Authorities before booking your trip. This includes both entering/leaving any country and all airline/cruise line requirements.
