The notified text repeals Resolution No. 6.056 of 2009, which established health requirements for the importation into Chile of pet dogs, cats and ferrets and repealed Resolutions No. 1.484 and No. 1.689 of 1992.

The present Resolution establishes health requirements for the importation into Chile of the species of pets indicated (pets being considered as animals imported in groups of no more than five). Hybrid animals that are a cross between a domestic species and a pure or hybrid wild species are not considered to be pets. Pure or hybrid wild species are excluded from the scope of this Resolution. Animals must be covered by an original official health certificate, granted by the official health authority of the country of origin, that shows full compliance with the health requirements set out in the Resolution. The official health certificate must be in Spanish and the language of the country of origin. A European Union passport, issued in Spanish or English, may be used for pet animals from EU member countries, provided that all the health requirements established in the Resolution have been met. The official health certificate will be valid for a period of ten days, although this period may be extended depending on travel conditions, and must include all the information specified in the Resolution.
