It is now official - Clams just became more difficult, if not impossible to import
 

As of Feb 4, the regulations surrounding the importation of clams into Canada just got significantly more rigid.
According to my supplier the 25 Tongan Maxima Clams that I have in stock right now are the last ones that I will, as it sits right now, be able to import.
Myself and Steve of Red Coral just got them in under the wire.
they are beautiful.
if you want to have something that no one else will be able to get in the future....these are your clams.
I will try to post pics tomorrow.
However, I will guarantee you will not be disappointed.
make sure that if you are in the neighbourhood you drop by Marine Experience or Red Coral to get one of these beautiful clams.
I will be extending my sale prices this weekend to these clams.
However, this will be the last time that a discount is applied.
thanks
Neal

so have they made them impossible to import or just added more hoops to jump through?

There are now only very few countries where clams be imported from.
and Tonga is not one of them.

is there an official government site that I can read up on the new regulation?

steve has it, perhaps he can post it.
hint hint Red Coral..lol
Unfortunately, I don`t have that info.

Neal,

Don't forget the new regulations are for T. maxima and T. crocea. Here is a link to new regs.
