🌍 Enviar un animal al extranjero

💡 En resumen, antes de nada

There are two legal ways. One: the adopter comes to Romania, adopts the animal, the passport is put in their name and they travel home with it. This is non-commercial travel, with no TRACES and up to 5 animals. Two: the animal travels without its new owner, through an association and a transporter. This counts as a commercial movement, even if nobody makes a profit and even if the adoption fee only covers costs. It needs an official DSVSA certificate in TRACES, a clinical exam within 48 hours, departure from an approved centre and an authorised transporter. A private person without an approved centre cannot send an animal to an adopter abroad on their own. EU rules for non-commercial travel are in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/131, applicable from 22 April 2026, which replaced Regulation 576/2013.
