There is no quarantine for imorting from AUS

The link BEKOL provided to the AFCD gives details and is your best source of info- i found them very helpful via email also.

It cost us ~AUD1400 for our 25kg mutt to travel BNE-HKG via CX. Cost is based on container size. You aren't allowed to manifest cargo so have to use one of the registered pet transport companies in AUS.

You'll need a vet in AUS that does exports- AQIS provides a list. There's 3 shots they need (on the AFCD website). Plus if you want to be able to bring the dog bask to AUS with minimum quarantine (1 month) you will need to get a rabies titre test and shots (2) and a micro-chip. Unfortunately the micro-chip used in HKG is a different standard so the dog will be given another one on arrival plus another rabies shot- whether or not you've done the titre tests.

Start planning at least 3 months ahead- it takes time to jump through all the hoops.
