dry rock accross the border

[vanreefer]

HI
anyone brought dry rock (ie BRS pukani etc) over the border?

Considering they won't ship it, I assume there is a lot of work involved to do it legally.

no rock or coral skeleton is allowed to be imported without paper work.

It's illegal to bring SPS across the border as well, but that doesn't seem to stop anyone...

According to a thread I read on RC, it shouldn't be an issue:

This is not considered coral, as ALL other rock is that is in the Industry. So very easy to ship without any customs, or US Fish and Wildlife permit.
Also I have shipped aquacultured rock to Canada, VIA a US airport many times.
Nobody has ever encountered any problems at the border, just declare it, pay some tax as the Canadians have there own designation for cultured rock. It is taxed and recognized as 'limestone' by them. Ask here in RC there are a few of your countrymen who have done it.

Unless things have changed, they only ship the Fiji dry rock to Canada.

I brought the BRS ecosaver rock across the border no problems
