fishclubgirl Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Decided to test Canada Customs and declare my fish. I had got the seller to make a bill of sale with their scientifice names, price etc. First question was from customs " Did I have Ebola or have I been in contact with someone with Ebola?".. Then he asks what livestock I have and I mention tropical fish. We both agree that they wouldn't stand a chance in this weather and off I go!!

MattsBettas Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Was this at the border or at an airport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceturf Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'm a little confused, so you went to a place near by you to test their policy or this was on a situation you were bringing stuff back anyways or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayfong Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 She was probably coming back from aquatic experience in Chicago. I didn't have trouble bringing fish back from the ACA this past summer and last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brought back some rare wild type livebearers that no one likes but me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kreature Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 When you travel on the plane how do you get the "liquids" over 100ml on the plane? Or do you have to pack them in your luggage? I've never tried to fly with live fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 've done it many times and I just use breather bags in a small cooler in my luggage. I have heard of a CAS member who brought fish in her carryon and had dechlorinator with her for after she cleared security.. Myself, I did forget about some fish in my bags and security found them. The security guard and I were trying to drain the bag so they were "legal" but then the head security let me through. He must've realised the fish were not a threat to national security....
