New Security Directive Affects Non-U.S. Origin Cargo
The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued a new Security Directive effective 1700 GMT March 10, 2011. This Directive mandates changes in security measures applicable to cargo shipments originating, transiting, or transferring at all non-U.S. locations.
Continental Airlines Cargo continues to accept cargo from all our customers as we work with the TSA to validate the impact and ramifications of this Directive.
Compliance with the new Directive requires carriers to determine whether the forwarder/
consolidator’s customer has had an established account with the forwarder for at least one
year. Forwarders are required to attest to this relationship by submitting the following revised
MAWB statement:
“All shipments tendered on this Master Air Waybill were received from persons having an established account for at least one year with a physical shipping address and a payment, invoice, or credit history of at least one year.”
When possible, this statement should accompany the shipment at time of tender. The statement may be written on the air waybill or other shipment documentation or may be included on a separate document. The version of the MAWB Acceptance Statement required by previous Directives is no longer valid or required.
Separate security measures apply to shipments tendered by regulated agents who provide the statement above, and to cargo from unregulated agents or agents who do not provide the statement. United Cargo will continue to accept cargo tendered both with and without this statement, and will apply the appropriate security protocols.
We will issue further updates on this issue as the impact of the new Directive is clarified. If you have any questions on this issue, please contact your cargo sales manager. We appreciate your support and continued strong business relationship.

Pet Boarding at Home Environment
When the time comes for the annual holiday travel season more and more pet owners are looking for alternatives to the traditional kennel boarding services. Many dog and cat owners are willing to go the extra mile if it means their furry friends are kept in a comfortable and caring environment. Pet hotels and even doggy holiday resorts are becoming more and more popular and many offer a level of luxury to pets that exceeds what the owners themselves enjoy while away.
Rules for Flying With a Service Dog
Existing Rules:
- Airlines can not ask passengers what their disability is, but they can ask what the service animal does for the individual, which will briefly touch on that person's special needs (and therefore eluding to their disability).
- Airlines are required to provide service animal relief areas and must cooperate with airport operators to make these areas accessible and readily available for both arriving and connecting passengers.
- TSA will expedite passengers to and from outdoor relief areas if they are on the other side of security and a passenger needs to relieve the service animal during a connecting flight.
Newest Rule:
- Passengers traveling with "emotional support animals" (which are not currently defined the same as a service animal) must give the airline 48 hours advance notice and provide a letter of verification and special need from their doctor.
International Rules:
Many countries have very strict rules regarding animals and traveling with pets, and no matter what the laws are in the US, as well as no matter whether the new 382 ruling requires their airlines to comply with the rules, if the country's existing laws prohibit animals in some way, they prohibit US travelers with service animals as well and are awarded a "conflict of law waiver" in regard to following 382. Of note, the Philippines, Jamaica, and Mexico have already received their conflict of law waivers, and do not, nor likely will soon, allow service animals into their countries.

Costa Rica Import Permit
Most of the government offices in Costa Rica close for the week between Christmas and New Years and many take an extended vacation beginning the 18th of December and not ending until after the 3rd of January.
If you are trying to import a pet you will find that this rule applies to you and the offices that you need to be opened to facilitate your need for an import permit. While some offices will be opened on a skeleton crew they will not be issuing import permits during this time and will only resume this practice after the 3rd of January.
Pets can still leave the country but should not try to enter the country by the proper means or they risk being held by the customs officials for an unlimited period of time.

Airline Animal Incident Reports
Please note that the data for each airline does not necessarily indicate the quality of service that it provides, because the number of animals transported by each airline varies widely. For example, Continental Airlines, which transports numerous pets, has emphasized that incident reports are filed for less than 0.05% of the pets that it transports. Further, Southwest Airlines until recently did not transport pets (in contrast to service animals, as required by law), and no reports have been filed by Southwest to date. http://www.thirdamendment.com/animals.html
The reports essentially give pet owners information they can use to decide how to and whether to travel with animals.
Such statistics to someone who has lost a beloved pet is like quoting similar data on the safe transport of unaccompanied minors to the caregiver of a child who is lost en route.
Consider all the options before you decide to put your pet on an airplane. Here are some general guidelines:
Travelling in Europe with a Pet
Traveling with a cat or dog is now much easier with the new EU pet passport.
The requirements:
The requirements:
Traveling with a cat or dog is now much easier with the new EU pet passport available from any veterinarian in Europe. The national authorities in every EU country are responsible for issuing the passport to the vets . All cats and dogs must have a passport containing details of a valid rabies vaccination. Until the end of 2011, Ireland, Malta, Sweden and the United Kingdom also require proof that the vaccination has been effective.
Import A Pet to Peru
Microchip
Peru requires that all incoming pets be equipped with a microchip for identification purposes.
Vaccinations
For dogs, the Peruvian government requires vaccinations for distemper, hepatitis, parvo virus, carre disease, leptospirosis, (DHLPP) corona virus, parainfluenza and rabies. For cats, the vaccinations include feline vioral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia (FVRCP) as well as rabies. Other animals also need special vaccines.
International Health Certificate
Obtain an international health certificate. All countries have some form of certificate for pet travel. The certificate proves ownership of the animal and provides evidence of all vaccinations and microchip status. It also confirms that the pet is free of disease at the time of issue. Ideally this certificate should be obtained within 30 days of departure.
Endorsement Forms
If raveling from the United States to Peru with a pet, your international health certificate must be endorsed by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Inspection Services). Locate the nearest USDA endorsement office and send in all your forms. This should include the microchip implantation record, vaccine certificates and the international health certificate. The USDA will return a formal endorsement certificate.
FEES
The last stage of entry to Peru with a pet takes place when you arrive. If your pet is transported in a cargo hold, you pass through immigration control on your own and then get your pet at baggage claim. Once you have your pet with you, go to the Peruvian customs station. You must present your certificates here and pay a fee. As of February 2010, the fee was 106.60 Nuevos Soles. This comes out to roughly $35.
Complain About Your Airline Pet Travel Service
If you experience this kind of problem with your airline, you may want to deal with it by lodging a complaint with the airline or to one of the authorities that oversee air transportation.
Whenever you can identify a problem on the spot, your best option will usually be to bring it to the airline's attention and give them a chance to resolve the issue. If you are at the airport, then contact the airline's customer service representatives, a manager, or some other employee who has the authority to immediately take care of your problem. If you are in flight, then contact the head flight attendant.
If your complaint involved a U.S. airline or a non-US airline operating in the United States, you may want to submit your complaint with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). You can file a formal complaint in one of the following ways:
Call the Aviation Consumer Protection Division at 202-366-0511 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 202-366-0511 end_of_the_skype_highlighting to record your complaint.
Submit your complaint to the Department of Transportation's Aviation Consumer Protection Division using their online form at airconsumer.ost.dot.gov/escomplaint/es.cfm.

Bringing a Pet into Kuwait
Quarantine:
If you are traveling into Kuwait with your pet there are no quarantine requirements.
Import permit:
an import permit must be obtained from PAAAFR (also known as the Animal Health Ministry), before your animal will be permitted to enter Kuwait. Import permits are normally valid for 1 month but can be extended to 3 months. It is worth pointing out that it is much cheaper to bring the animal on the same flight with you, than sending a pet as unaccompanied 'cargo'.
Documentation:
In order to get your pet import/health certificate you will need to provide copies of the following* documents to whoever is handling your importation
Photocopy of your pet’s vaccinations record; all vaccinations must be at least 1 month old and less than 1 year old on entry into Kuwait
Passport Photocopy of the person traveling with the pet
Airline, flight details and dates of travel clearly indicating the arrival date into/destination out of Kuwait.
You should also get a health certificate from the animal health authorities in your country, stating that your pet is well and able to travel. You may be asked to show this on departure from your home country, although it is not usually asked for on arrival into Kuwait, the original certificate must be presented on arrival. Usually, whoever is meeting you and your pet will bring this to the airport with your entry visa.
Alternatively, you can request that the original certificate be couriered to you, before departure from your home country.
If your pet is traveling with you, they will be brought into the luggage collection area.
You may be asked to show the original health certificate as you leave the airport.
If you are going to an hotel and wish to bring your pet with you it is important to know that not all hotels in Kuwait will accept pets. Shik Hotel sometimes allows cats. The Hilton Resort has been known to allow cats and small dogs, although only in the chalets and only by advance arrangement.

It is advised that you do not import or export a pet during the hottest months of the year. If you must do so, please try to ensure that you pet arrives during a late night or early morning flight. Some airlines (such as Delta) will not transport pets into or out of Kuwait between May and September, so check with your chosen airline well in advance. There is always a chance the pet will be exposed to the heat while waiting to board a flight or awaiting collection from the cargo area, so try to avoid moving pets during July, August and September
