Bringing Fish Over the Border FROM the US
Im wondering if anyone here has any experience doing this? i really want a tailspot blenny and they are really hard to find around here. i can get one in the US and have it shipped to an address in washington state.
what would i need for proof and permits? is it even doable?

Make sure you have a bill of sale. They just want their taxes. When asked what you have, say "aquarium rock". I do not recommend the word "Live"...I think that translates into "I want a body cavity search". For importation purposes, they will want to know what kind of rock it is. I went with "limestone". My import documents say "Limestone - crude or roughly trimmed...classification 2515.20.10.10. My rock was a product of the US, so it was duty free. That was my experience. I think the concern is that you don't KNOW what is on the rock and someone COULD make a case that there COULD be CITES species on the rock. This is where you might end up if you start attempting to explain why your rock is "live".
