Hawaii is rabies-free. Hawaii's quarantine law is designed to protect residents and pets from potentially serious health problems associated with the introduction and spread of rabies. This law states that dogs and cats meeting specific pre- and post-arrival requirements may qualify for a 5-day-or-less quarantine program, which has a provision for direct release at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport after inspection. See the State of Hawaii Animal Industry Division’s Checklist For 5-Day-Or-Less Program for details. Hawaii has regulations for pet importation. These must be followed in order to be authorized a direct release from the airport if all pre-arrival requirements are completed AND all required paperwork/payments are submitted at least 10 days prior to arrival.
