Default Anyone done a group order from the US?

Hey Gang,....we are looking into doing a SW livestock group order from LiveAquaria and having it shipped to the border for pick-up.

I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this?

Thanx
Blaine

Sounds risky, don't you need permits for this?

You dont need permits to bring back fish as an individual, as long as the fish is going into your home aquarium and is not to be resold.

I am talking to border officials tomorrow to see if the group order thing changes the equation or not. All the fish are still going to home aquariums and are not going to be resold so...???

I was hoping that someone that lived near the border had done something like this in the past.

I am going to be the one making the drive, only 1.5 hrs

I dont know.. if you get stopped its going to be hard to explain that you have 20 fish.. but they arent all yours!

I was going to bring back some zoa frags from Seattle last summer when Lori and I went down to SeaMax.. I did tons of googling and seems zoas and rics dont need CITES if they are not on rock..well I chickened out.. and guess whos car got pulled off the ferry on this side for inspection.. It was hard enough trying to explain why we went over just to see an aquarium show.. and to go to Walmart... I felt so dirty when they were done interrogating me.. Almost

Coming back with 20 fish , you would need a list of names and what each person purchased . If you have all the info i wouldent see it being a problem. No restrictions on sw fish because you cant release them into the wild and damage the environment.Im across the border almost once a week ,and as long as you are honest and have all your paperwork its no problem.
