The verified Korean text — not the English translation — is the source of record.\n\n## Article 34 — Quarantine Certificate for Import (제34조 수입을 위한 검역증명서의 첨부)\n\nUnder **제34조(수입을 위한 검역증명서의 첨부)**, an importer of designated quarantine goods (*지정검역물*) must attach a quarantine certificate (*검역증명서*), classified as follows:\n\n- Where hygiene conditions are set under paragraph 2: a quarantine certificate issued by the exporting country's government agency on the form agreed with the head of the animal quarantine agency.\n- Where hygiene conditions are not set under paragraph 2: a quarantine certificate proving no risk of spreading livestock-infectious-disease pathogens, issued by the exporting country's government agency.\n\nException: this does not apply where the exporting country has no animal-quarantine government agency (as prescribed by Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Ordinance) or where an electronic-document quarantine certificate sent via telecommunications network by an exporting-country government agency recognized by the head of the animal quarantine agency is stored in the agency's main computer.\n\nThe Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (*농림축산식품부장관*) may, where necessary for livestock quarantine or public hygiene, prescribe and publicly notify hygiene conditions covering the exporting country's quarantine content, hygiene situation, and quarantine-facility registration/management procedures (제34조 제2항).\n\n(Amendment notes verbatim: 개정 2013. 3. 23., 2017. 3. 21.)\n\n## Article 36 — Import Quarantine (제36조 수입 검역)\n\nUnder **제36조(수입 검역)**, an importer of designated quarantine goods (*지정검역물*) must promptly apply for quarantine to the head of the animal quarantine agency and undergo the quarantine officer's inspection, as prescribed by Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Ordinance. A traveler importing designated quarantine goods as carry-on must, immediately upon entry, report at the entry airport/port and undergo inspection. Imported animals (incl. companion animals) must undergo the prescribed quarantine procedure before entry.\n\nWhere an epidemiological investigation or precision-test result gives reasonable belief that goods other than designated quarantine goods are contaminated by pathogens of livestock infectious disease, the quarantine officer must promptly quarantine those goods (제36조 제2항). The quarantine officer may also quarantine designated quarantine goods stored in a bonded area without the paragraph-1 application/report or a bonded-area custodian request under Customs Act Article 154 (제36조 제3항; 「관세법」 제154조). Quarantine subjects arriving in Korea are inspected; non-conforming items are returned or destroyed.\n\n(Amendment / revision notes verbatim: 개정 2013. 3. 23.; 전문개정 2010. 4. 12.)\n\nSource: `pdf-raw/kr-pet-travel/contagious_prevention_act.txt` — first-hand official Korean text, retrieved 2026-07-24 (W24 Korea first pass).\n","sources":["Pet departure / export quarantine under Contagious Animal Disease Prevention Act — Pet arrival quarantine under Contagious Animal Disease Prevention Act (가축전염병예방법) (retrieved 2026-07-24)"],"source":{"authority":"Pet departure / export quarantine under Contagious Animal Disease Prevention Act","title":"Pet arrival quarantine under Contagious Animal Disease Prevention Act (가축전염병예방법)","url":"https://www.law.go.kr/lsSc.do?menuId=1&query=%EA%B0%80%EC%B6%95%EC%A0%84%EC%97%BC%EB%B3%91%20%EC%98%88%EB%B0%A9%EB%B2%95","retrieved":"2026-07-24","ref":"","doc_type":"official PDF","source_document":"Korea 가축전염병예방법 (quarantine)","verification_file":"pdf-raw/kr-pet-travel/contagious_prevention_act.txt"},"source_document":"Korea 가축전염병예방법 (quarantine)","source_file":"pdf-raw/kr-pet-travel/contagious_prevention_act.txt","trust":{"authority_tier":"T1","fidelity":"verbatim","license":null,"display_grade":"A"},"tokens_estimated":757,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
