Hi, I've done some searches but I can't find a clear step by step set of instructions on how to bring fish or plants into Canada from the US or other countries. So, based on contributions from our membership here, I'd like to build such a set of instructions. I'll edit this first post as the process is described and perhaps post different sets of instructions depending on the region/type of import. Canada Customs isn't exactly clear when it comes to determining if you need your exporter to have an import permit or not. Using the AIRS list, I can tell if the fishy I want is prohibited or not. The AIRS list gives me a printout... does this mean fishy is good to go? I can't tell what I need to do to get the fishy from USA sent to me without it dying in Customs because it didn't have the right paperwork. I've read that you can take them with you while travelling IF they aren't prohibited and you're carrying them with you (good luck getting an airline to let you take them on board). This doesn't help if you just want to send them via USPS. Remember not all aquarium animals need to be sent as airplane cargo (plants/inverts for example). So, further contributions would be appreciated.
