Hey Guys,
Came back from Hawaii last May after a vacation. Didn't bring back any reef stuff, but I brought back these really cool bonsai ficus plants. Had permit type literature attached to it, and it was all sealed and packed. The greenhouse I bought them from said it was not a problem with customs. They were wrong. We declared the stuff, and customs confiscated the stuff saying the permits were not correct for Canada. I'm sure it made a nice desk decoration for a customs agent. I don't think you would get jail or fines, but the stuff would get confiscated, and surely die a slow death in their possesion. Just my .02.

Mike
