Certain types of animals, insects, microorganisms and plants are not allowed entry to Hawaii. 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 Hawaii can ruin our island paradise! Let's work together in protecting Hawaii!
