What to watch
Live animals are moved by air (small animals, horses, pets), by sea on livestock carriers (cattle, sheep) and by road. They are regulated by animal-welfare and veterinary rules and handled by specialist providers.
Forwarders usually act as coordinators and work with specialist handlers.
Quarantine, permits and airline embargoes (for example heat embargoes) apply and must be checked per route.
Falcons travelling in the Gulf need CITES documentation and a passport/identification.
