No, I didn't have any issues. I never attempted to mislead them in any way. I declared it as "rock for my aquarium". As a product of the USA, no one expressed any concerns. In order for me to pay my taxes, they classified it as "limestone".
I figured that aquacultured live rock put me on the moral high ground if questioned...but I doubt anyone would have cared about reef destruction and endangered species...only about upholding some ill-written rule.
Sure, you can purchase Vanuuatu live rock in any LFS that was probably ripped from a living reef...but you can't transport aquacultured rock specifically/sustainably produced for the aquarium business. Ah..don't get me started.
I guess Canada would rather support reef destruction than a sustainable business.
I was prepared to get arrested to make a point. You might not feel as strongly about it.
