Hawaii: Submit the Import Documents to AQS

Once you have received the rabies titer test results back from your vet and have a planned arrival date, it is time to submit the import paperwork to Hawaii.

In order to complete the Dog & Cat Import Form (AQS-279), you will need to have the following information handy: 

  • Your pet's planned arrival date to Hawaii
  • Your address in Hawaii
  • Your form of identification (such as a driver's license)
  • Your pet's original signed Rabies vaccination certificates (only for the last two shots administered)
  • Copy of the Rabies titer test results (FAVN report form)
  • Payment (Visa or Mastercard) - $185 per pet for Direct Airport Release

AQS now has an online submission option.

Portal Access: https://hipop.ais.hawaii.gov/ 

  1. Create a new account.
    1. Each pet needs their own separate animal file associated with the owner account.
  2. After logging into your account:
    1. Create a new animal import application for each pet.
    2. Complete each pet's profile and upload all your supporting documents to the Pet Detail page including:
      1. Two (2) Rabies vaccination certificates
      2. FAVN test results
      3. Health certificate
      4. Flight itinerary
    3. Pay the fees for entry (Visa or Mastercard)

All added information and documentation will be reviewed and verified by Animal Quarantine staff before your application will be approved.

Please note that you must apply yourself - this cannot be done by Starwood.

Failure to send the documents as instructed will incur additional fees and can disqualify a pet from Direct Airport Release.  Other than the original health certificate, hand carrying documents in for review and qualification on arrival will cause delay and result in a higher fee of $244 for DAR, and $130 for Re-Entry.  Priority is given to dog and cat owners that properly submitted the documents beforehand as instructed.
