fish food across the boarder

[Z Trip]

I live in Canada and noticed some great deals on fish food in the states. Is it legal to bring fish food across the boarder? Its just pellets, sticks and possibly flakes. I would be shipping it to an address and then picking it up and returning.

Also, if anyone has some preferred sites they order from let me know. I would like to shop as much as possible.

How much are you looking to buy North Fin Has some good deals on 15 kg orders and they are Canadian. We ran into hassles bringing in food across the line. Turns out feds think we may be feeding it to our fish to eat them. There may be some brands that are ok I think it is the CFIA you need to check with though.

Some things may have changed since I posted the following back in 2010, but basically it can be hit or miss when importing pet food (including fish food) into Canada.

Hey thanks guys. I had a funny feeling that fish food had some red tape. I won't risk it.
