Hey Clint,

Did you have to go to the border or the airport to pick up your shipment? Did customs give you a hard time?

Cheers,
Vic [veng68]

The problem with some of the live shipments, is if there is not a t crossed, or an I dotted, they will hold it or seize it because of the amount of foreign 'invarers' that make it into the natural water supply and wreck havoc on it. Not that im saying thats what you would do, but it happens. Either on purpose or by accident.

I used the wifes paypal so she had to go.She had no problem and the customs people didnt open or look into the package at all.The box was clearly marked so guess that was enough.Clint

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe its a Purple People Eater Zoathid, PPE is what its commonly called

Soft Corals are not covered under CITES, but the rock they are attached to is. As long as the zoa's are attached to a man made frag plug you are fine. I have received an order or two myself from Rommel. And I have been more than happy everytime!

thank you

all I know is that everytime I bring in Zoas, I need a CITES.
if you can get away with it or there is some way around it, that is great...all the power to ya.
I was just trying to make people aware of the fact that there can be issues depending on what kind of day the customs people are having.
