Hong Kong classifies countries into groups for pet import purposes, and the US falls into Group 2, which means no quarantine is required if all documentation is complete. An import licence from the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) must be obtained before travel. Hong Kong is a common transit and destination point for expats relocating across Asia.
