Livestock from the US to Canada.

Just did a run on Saturday.

Pulled up to the booth and got asked what's in the box and told her. Got sent into the office with a yellow slip of paper. Spoke with a CBSA rep, he asked me for a list of the names, I gave it to him and he told me to take a seat.

A few minutes later he returned and said they were all good to be brought in and proceeded to tell be about the AIRS website and said if you want to save yourself some time, next time, run the names yourself and bring the printouts.

And BTW, I shopped online for one primary reason: I got three fish at once that I had been looking for, for a while. There is pretty much only one decent marine store in vancouver these days ...

I'm not really sure what the AIRS website is all about...I typed in Hippocampus erectus (which requires CITES permit) and the website mentions nothing about CITES. I'm not sure what the CFIA has to do with the importation of ornamental fish - unless they are food fish. It seems any time I deal with a CBS officer there is a different story. It can be frustrating.
