Livestock from the US to Canada.
I think you should fully support your LFS, but out of curiosity, how does it work at the border if you order livestock online from the US or take a roadtrip to go shoppung for some corals/fish/inverts in the States to bring them back home to Canada? Are there restrictions? Permits needed? Info?

A couple of years ago I drove across with freshwater fish a couple of times without any issue and without any documentation, except for a receipt with genus and species names on it. A few casual questions like "what kind of fish is it?" "can I see?" "why didn't you buy it in Vancouver?" but it was pretty casual.
I think I heard that you can't bring corals across; I was considering making a fish and snail run myself soon. If you are going to try and drive across with nothing more than I reciept, I would: a.) be prepared to have them confiscated. b.) make sure that they are not on the red list c.) have a receipt with the genus and species name on it. There are probably already a thread or two on the matter kicking around.

I live 10min from the border never had any problem with fish or corals as long as they are not on the endagered list and they told me I cannot bring live rock across anymore,dry rock is ok,I do all my saltwater shopping across the line because the closest lfs is 5 hrs away.
