Cats must appear healthy; they are inspected at the port and may be refused or sent for a veterinary examination at the owner's expense if they show signs of a disease transmissible to people.

Transported on the same aircraft from the port of origin to Honolulu; off-loading only to transfer to another aircraft under the direct supervision of the officer in charge, who certifies in writing (name, position, airline, address, phone; date, time, aircraft and flight numbers of both flights) that the animal had no contact with other animals. Container sealed so that removing the animal breaks the seal. An affidavit by the aircraft captain or senior station official that the animal came on one aircraft and was not off-loaded.

Original official health certificate issued within 14 days of transport by a veterinarian holding an appointment as a government officer of the country (or territory) of origin, certifying the animal is free of external parasites and signs of transmissible disease.

Original affidavit by the owner or consignor that the animal was not outside the country of origin in the 6 months before shipment (trips to other exempt areas or Hawaii allowed), with airline, flight number and departure date. From Guam: the Guam affidavit form IC-5.

Honolulu, at the Airport Animal Quarantine Holding Facility during inspection hours (8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. on the checklist); the rule also allows a department-approved neighbour-island port. International flights must clear U.S. Customs first.

Inspected on arrival and may be treated for external parasites; any sign of transmissible disease sends all animals of the shipment into quarantine.

Cats 90 days or older on arrival: vaccinated against feline panleukopenia (feline viral enteritis), feline viral rhinotracheitis (herpesvirus-1), feline calicivirus and Chlamydia psittaci (pneumonitis) at least 10 days before arrival and still within the manufacturer's booster interval, certified on the health certificate. Required by the rule (HAR §4-29-8) for every cat entering Hawaii; not listed on the current checklists.
