• All arriving passengers must complete the Guam Customs Declaration Form (available electronically through the Guam Customs and Quarantine Agency website). One form per family is enough.

Currency
• There is no limit on the amount of money you may bring in. The local currency is the US dollar (USD).
• If you arrive from outside the United States with more than USD 10,000 (or the equivalent in foreign currency) in cash, travelers checks or other monetary instruments, you must declare it and file FinCEN Form 105 with a customs officer. The Guam declaration form asks all arriving travelers about amounts over USD 10,000. Failure to report can lead to seizure of the money and penalties.

• Commercial goods (goods for resale) must be declared with their value.

Dogs and cats need a microchip, current and previous rabies vaccination certificates, other core vaccinations, a rabies antibody (FAVN) test from a CDC-approved laboratory, and a health certificate issued within 10 days of travel. Most pets serve a 120-day quarantine: pets from the US can move to home quarantine after 5 days or less in a commercial facility, while pets from other non-exempt countries must stay in a commercial facility until the 120 days are completed. Pets from Australia, the British Isles, Hawaii, Japan and New Zealand may be exempt from quarantine if all requirements are met. Pets transiting Guam also need an Entry Permit.
