Here's what nobody tells you about Haiti: the list is short, just a health certificate and an import permit, but 'short' doesn't mean 'last-minute' in any way. Mochi's flat little face has nothing to do with Haiti's rules, but the permit timeline still needs real lead time, same as any other destination.
Pet import to Haiti is overseen by Direction de la Quarantaine et de Contrôle des Produits Agricoles et de la Pêche (DQCPAP). Confirmed against an official source so far: a health certificate and an import permit. Anything else — commonly a microchip, rabies vaccination and health certificate — is not yet confirmed for Haiti against an official source, so it's flagged in the table below rather than assumed.
