Getting rays directly from an exporter

Hey, i just wanted to throw this out there. I bought fish in europe twice and brought them over to US without any paperwork. I had them as carry-on in a container before the no liquid ban (now have to put them with luggage). Fish and Wild life inspected them on my arrival and let me throu. No problems at all. I know it is different from shipping, but if you go on vacation to Singapore, you can just buy them and bring them over as pets.
You were lucky. This is not legal and I'm suprised US Fish & Wildlife did not confiscate them. I think they look at everything a lot closer in the post 9/11 environment and think this is an very bad idea.
i declared them when i got to the states. I also had them cleared by european customs. they were brought in as you would a pet dog. i am pretty sure it is legal. it was post 9/11 but before no liquid ban.
Check the customs webpage for bringing personal pets over. It is different from importing. No paperwork is need for pet fish.
