KC doesn't have it "quite" right.
From below:
"Pets traveling with their owners as "excess luggage" (in the cargo hold under
the plane but traveling with their owner) or in the passenger cabin being
imported into the US are not affected by this regulation. '

Shipping dogs as Cargo by plane
Question
New TSA regulation on transporting live animals into/through the
United States.
Answer
The following information is about a new TSA policy and NOT a Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) regulation. We are unable to provide any further
guidance on this issue. Please contact the TSA for further assistance.
There is a new Transportation Security Administration (TSA) directive known as
"change 5" in effect as of 01 February 2009 that reads as follows:
Receiving Tendered Cargo (non-U.S. Origin shipments).
All shipments accepted in non-US locations from shippers other than Regulated
Agents or International Air Transport Association (IATA)-Approved Agents must
be tendered by a Cargo Agent, Consolidator, Freight Forwarder, All-Cargo
Aircraft Operator or All-Cargo Foreign Air Carrier. Shipments can no longer be
accepted from an entity which does not meet one of these definitions including
Live Animals and Human Remains.
What does this mean?
All animals (pets) coming into the US booked as manifest cargo must be tendered
at their origin airport by a "Regulated Agent" or "IATA-Approved.."
Pets traveling with their owners as "excess luggage" (in the cargo hold under
the plane but traveling with their owner) or in the passenger cabin being
imported into the US are not affected by this regulation.
Who is affected?
Breeders shipping pets as cargo overseas/across the US border
Animal show participants shipping pets as cargo overseas/across the US border
Individuals living overseas who want to send their pets back to the US as cargo.
All of the above must now go through a Registered Agent. This could be
particularly difficult for someone living in a more remote city/country where
there might not be a freight forwarder or registered agent who is capable
and/or willing to book pets as cargo.
Who is not affected?
People (Breeders, Pet Owners, etc.) shipping their pets as cargo within the US.
People traveling with their pets as excess luggage or in-cabin within the US.
People traveling with their pets as excess luggage or in-cabin into the US.
