USA coral companies that ship to Canada ?

[fencer]

When I did shipping most of the CITES stuff was cleared out of LA. I did have some sea weed impounded by Customs in Canada. They thought it would be an environmental hazard causing growth in the lake if it got loose. I tried to explain it was marine. But it took a Supervisor at Ag Can to release the shipment with apologies, I got the shipment 2 day late and kentuky fried.

are CITES just for each shipment or can you have one for a year for one thing like fish ect..?

Personally, I've never had to order anything from the US, so no.

Will i just order a coral/frag tank from an online tank store and shipping was $110 just for reg UPS ground from Tennessee to Calgary. And they will not let you use your own UPS acct to ship.

Once you cross the border....... that's international shipping.

Since they are using UPS be prepared for $35 brokerage fees not to mention the 7% GST tacked on to the value of your order (thanks revenue canada).

Don't try and get anything from the states right now the exchange rate jump like 4-5cents.
