Both will require payment up front and proof that you can house such an animal.

Ok as of january 1st 2010 blacktips white tips and grey reef sharks are illegal to import into california without permits. I dont know if any one has tried to get permits from the DGF but it seams almost impossible. I am interested in bringing in all 3 species and i have a exporter ready to ship them out but i cant bring them intocalifornia with out the permit and i keep getting the run around trying to get the permit. Any help would be appreciated and if you know a way around the permit or another way to come in i would be great. PLEASE HELP

Hey Steve,
I realize this is an old post but did you ever obtain a permit?
I had a permit between 2004 and 2012 but it was a broker/dealer permit. I doubt the DFG would give a permit to a private individual for display. Let me know if you got the permit. I can still obtain many Carcharhinid sharks (Bull, BTR, Grey Reef, Sandbar, Galapagos, etc.) if you've got the facilities and permit for them.

Bumping the thread but the law says all sharks od the genus carcharhinus are illegal to possess, however the whitetip reef shark is of the genus trienodon so does that mean that its legal to keep whitetip reef sharks?

I’m sorry for bringing up an old post, turbo253, do you have access to bonnets, blacktip reefs, white tip reefs or bulls still? Experienced Carcharhinus keeper here, will show you my system when I hear back. Thank you in advance

Doubt you'll get a response from T turbo253 as they haven't been on MFK since 2019.
