Chin recently wrote this is a recent thread of his:

"bringing fish back was no problem at all. NO SPECIAL PERMITS is required for tropical fish and animals that is not listed on CITES. The importation of tropical fish and animals is regulated by Department of Fisheries and Oceans. http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/science/aqu...namental_e.htm"

The exporter(seller) of the livestock must provide the proper documentation not the buyer if CITES is required. You can check to see if your fish is on the CITES list though.

My wife brought back some dragon face pipefish and she had no problem at all. As long as your not reselling them for a profit....all is OK

About a year and a half ago I phoned border services and they said just bring them across and dont tell anyone.

So I don't think it will be a problem

How about bringing live rock? Would that be a problem?
