Bahamas Import Assistant (B.I.A.) – Your Fast, Safe, & Guaranteed Way to Bring Pets to The Bahamas   Hey there, traveler! Planning to bring your dog, cat, or both to The Bahamas in 2025? Don’t risk getting turned away at the port—B.I.A. makes it simple, fast, and 100% approved. We’re a BAHFSA-approved vendor based in Nassau, helping over 5,000+ families since 2020 fly, cruise, or ferry their pets into paradise with zero stress.  Since September 2024, the Bahamas Agricultural Health and Food Safety Authority (BAHFSA) now controls ALL agricultural imports—plants, drinks, food, flowers, and live animals including pets. Everything runs through the Click2Clear ePermit system—a fancy online portal that’s great for trade… but a headache if you’re just trying to bring Fluffy on vacation.  That’s where B.I.A. comes in—we’re your personal permit concierge. You fill out our 5-minute form, upload your pet’s rabies shot, vet health cert, and travel plans. We check everything, fix any mistakes (like wrong dates or missing stamps), and submit directly to BAHFSA. Then? You get your digital ePermit by email—print it, show it at the airport or cruise dock, and boom—you’re in!  Best part?  One permit covers ALL dogs OR ALL cats from your household—no extra fees!  
Same-day approval available (perfect for last-minute trips)  
100% Approval Guarantee – if BAHFSA says no (and they won’t), you get your money back
