Could a fellow use this to get usa coral stores to ship to us Canadians.Then pay for the import fees, taxes, and brokerage on non cities corals?
Two im thinking of is ORA and cherrycorals.

What are you wanting from ORA that doesn't fall under CITES?

all hard corals?

Exactly, and stores like cherry corals and almost any other usa supplier the collects the nice corals and limit shipping to usa only.
This was a question i had, only to see the viability of trying this.
If i had cash to waste id try it with just one thing, then see if it could be duplicated with a larger order.
Us Canadians are always forgotten by usa stores.

You would still need cites, or it's smuggling (or some other nasty crime).

Well, legally speaking, you'd be limited to soft corals. Kind of takes the fun out of it. Selection of zoanthids up here recently has been on par with the US anyways.

And aquacultured sps unattached to coral rocks, those concrete plugs they use would not apply to being a live rock.
You just have to prove usa origin and no cities would be needed.

No hard corals can be shipped legally without cites. No matter the size or on frag plugs.

Softies only

Doubt they would take a chance by the looks of it.

The also, CBSA would probaly have this company flagged, and would be curious when something came in as "Aquacultured".

Thats good enough for me, your right Ken.
Shoulda read the small print.
