Hi everyone, I’m traveling internationally with my cat from the U.S. to China this Wednesday and just received the USDA VEHCS notification that her health certificate has been completed and endorsed.

China accepts USDA APHIS digital endorsement, so I understand that I should be able to print the endorsed certificate directly from VEHCS instead of needing a mailed wet-ink original.

For anyone who has traveled with a pet to China recently: did your printed endorsed health certificate have a “COPY” watermark on it? Was it accepted by the airline/China customs?

I’m just trying to make sure that a printed digitally endorsed certificate with the “COPY” watermark is okay.

Thank you so much!
