  2. You will be directed to the closest available US Customs office located at Building 77, North Boundary Road, JFK to organise a customs release. Customs clearance is the responsibility of the owner. Note you will also need a vehicle to travel from the Qantas Freight terminal to the customs office and return.
  3. Your animal(s) will be held at Qantas Freight until you return from the customs office. A landing fee of USD89.00 per consignment is payable. Payment can be made by cash only.
  4. Upon completion of the above, our team will release your pet(s) to you.
