Ok, I just called that numebr again for Continental Cargo.

They told me that they would have to transfer me to their forwarder
and gave me the number for the shipping service that
I have already talked to.
I can't tell if your reading & understanding everything I'vs said ...


Can YOU drive Boomer DIRECTLY to Narita Airport???

If YOU can deliver him directly to the Continental CARGO
facility at Nirata ... they are "supposed" to accept him
directly from YOU and
put him on a Continental plane ... no "middleman" required.

Two conditions to that:

1) Boom has to fly ALL the WAY on Continental flights ...
Nirata to the USA on Continental
AND USA Port-of-Entry to "final destination" on Continental.

2) Boom needs ALL the proper pre-flight stuff >>>
* Proper size "Continental Approved" flight crate/carrier
* International Vet Papers - dated within 10 days of take-off.
* Have NO "drugs or sedatives" in his system
* they might / might not want food & water for him - ASK
* food & water must be "packed" according to Continental's desires

You "CAN" use a Freightr Forwarder - just be SURE the one you
use:
* Has a known reputation for shipping animals "successfully"
* Has a 24/7 Japan AND USA Service Desk with the guaranteed
ability to *track* Boomer 24/7.

Again I suggest >>>
SOMEone one the Military Base *SHOULD* know how to do this
AND be willing to make the necessary phone calls to pull it off!!!

Ask the Base VETS - surely they've DONE this all before!
