Importing Plants, Animals and Microorganisms to Hawai`i
Certain types of animals, insects, microorganisms and plants are not
allowed entry to Hawai`i. For those that are allowed, import permits,
letter of authorization, quarantine and/or health certificates may be
required. The importation of uninspected plants and animals or entry of
a species alien to Hawai`i can ruin our island paradise! Let's work
together in protecting Hawai`i!
