HRS §142-8
Reporting animal arrivals
When a live animal arrives in Hawaii by boat or plane, the captain must tell the agriculture department right away. The animal and its food, water, and related items must stay at the dock or airport until the department inspects them. The department can make the owner or shipper pay to move the animal for inspection. Breaking these rules is a misdemeanor.
