Ishkabod Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 one of the posts warned about this about a month or so ago. One of the things mentioned was that ANYTHING personal or commercial will be destroyed at the border. This applies to all pet foods as of july this year. Stock up and good luck. I hope you don't have to risk trying to import from the states. goof luck L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishkabod Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Complain to the government or the agency that is responcible. Let them know they are killing pets due to starvation so they better do something quick and that might get them going on the Hikari issue. Good luck L P.S. you could always try to get it over the internet and maybe with how new this is you might just make it through customs regardless of the new regs.

RD. Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 You can read more about it here: http://albertaaquatica.com/index.php?showtopic=25987 Funny, I got roasted on another forum for spreading false rumours. :boxed: The new regs are pretty straightforward, and complaining to the government isn't going to get you anywhere.

DiscusKeeper403 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Let them know they are killing pets due to starvation I'm sorry but I was on the floor laughing after reading this. Ahaha little over the top. Hope you were kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 That sucks, can you still get dried foods by them? I like switching up brands when I feed my fish and hikari was one of my favs to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscusKeeper403 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 That sucks, can you still get dried foods by them? Nope, think it will be a ban on all foods by Hikari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natures Corner Store Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 That sucks, can you still get dried foods by them? Nope, think it will be a ban on all foods by Hikari. I believe you are right DiscusLova. So far though we still seem to be able to get Hikari from B.C. distributors. Everyone else(Hikari distributors) East of B.C. seems to had their shipments turned around at the border. I called the three biggest. Go figure that the B.C. Canada border is so...??? loose? :ph43r: I guess only time will tell. These regulations are opening a lot of other industries eyes. I feel it is overdue. A bit of a hassle in the beginning, but I think good overall. I sell TONS of Hikari so I find it a shame if Hikari cannot comply in a timely manner. BUT what the heck, there less than 35 million people in Canada and OVER 35 million just in the state of California. Does this make Canada a viable place for business? :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moutain Dew Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 After all the animals that suffered and died because of the ease of which pet foods are regulated for ingredients,, I say good for my pets..

I would guess you are in B.C. It is the only province that seems to have slow CFIA and Customs agents. :ph43r: see previous post(post #11 above) " So far though we still seem to be able to get Hikari from B.C. distributors.
