I once herd $300, for a single time permit to bring anything alive, providing you get the permint in advance of corse. This was in the airport though

Too much trouble to live stock. Was looking for hardware, things we don't bring into Canada yet.

There's one petstore in downtown Bellingham. It's near the bus station . Hair algae!

A friend of mine brings fish across the border all the time. They dont give him any problem and most of the time he doesn't even pay duty.

I tried researching stores in Washington. Slim pickin's in our neck of the woods. You pretty much have to go all the way to Seattle to find a decent fish store.

Hardware should be no problem bringing it back.

Is your friend willing to tell us if there is any magic to bringing fish across the border? Do you have to get a license or permit of some sort? What does the process look like?

Thanks in advance!
