Good live rock

Even by driving down, nothing is guaranteed.
"Legally" you still would require the CITES when you arrive at the border.
However, most customs people aren't aware of what is required when it comes to this type of stuff.
If you just showed up and said oh yea, I picked up some rock for my tank, they probably wouldn't say anything....Probably is the key word.
For something like this, ignorance is sometimes bliss. I know that I came across the border last year with a couple of hundred lbs of LR without any problems. At that time, I didnt' know that CITES was required. Neither did the customs, because I did declare the LR at the border. All they were concerned with was the GST on the total amount.
