Min: 121d • Ideal: 135d
CRITICAL ALERT: This route requires 121 days minimum due to the 90-day Rabies Titer () wait, and your flight is in 60 days. Delay flight or face quarantine.
Your latest compliant veterinary start date was Sep 1, 2026. Arriving in Jordan without meeting the full 90-day Rabies Titer (FAVN) wait triggers border refusal, mandatory quarantine detention, or re-export at owner expense unless your pet already holds an active, microchip-linked rabies vaccination and endorsed FAVN blood test.
Brachycephalic (Snub-Nosed) Breed Alert: Boxer
Boxer is classified as a Brachycephalic (snub-nosed) breed prone to Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) under cargo stress and heat. Korean Air enforces a strict cargo/hold embargo on Boxers.
💡 Because Boxer exceeds Korean Air's 7 kg cabin cap, standard airline holds are closed; consider private pet charter or IPATA BOAS-certified ground/sea routing.
At 29 kg, your Boxer exceeds Korean Air's 7 kg cabin limit, and Korean Air (Korean Air Cargo Variation Live) enforces a strict Brachycephalic (snub-nosed) embargo in all cargo holds due to respiratory risk.
