Currently, the Swedish Board of Agriculture classifies countries to four main categories that have different import requirements. This classification considers the efficiency of the rabies control system in each country. Special rules apply for Norway and Malaysia.
Here is a summary of the import regulations to Sweden. We assume that your pet is traveling as Cargo. In general, less requirements are applicable when you are traveling with your own pet. For more details, please check the Board of Agriculture Website.

According to the Board of Agriculture, a non-EU country in which rabies situation is beyond control or suspicious is referred to an Unlisted Country. Stricter rules may apply in this case and your pet will be quarantined for 120 day in one of the approved quarantines in Sweden or Norway.  Please check the following link for more details.
