Someone please help. I'm from California. I came back to my original country, Taiwan, to check it out. Haven't been here since I left at 4 years old. There are so many exotics that I want to ship back home to America. So I have some questions. How the heck do I ship fish? And also, will the open up my package? California does have certain fish that are not allowed(I can't go into details) which I would love to ship back. And the not allowed fish is what I want to take back with me. I was thinking about putting a couple bags of smaller fry in my undies when I get on the plane. But I don't know the risk involved. Please someone give me some input.

don't try to get any fish that not allow in the state, you will get heavy fine and a jail term. By entering US you can't bring any water with you except baby milk, so your chance of getting a bag of water pass security is very slim. They'll think you bring liquid bomb, now a day everything is terrorist to US. So rather then bring banned fish, mind just bring drugs instead, the fine is the same :).

California still has the best "green" around. I miss California for that one reason.

Crickey, ease up turbo. I wouldn't go smuggling in items, it's so easy to detect water with modern day equipment. Plus how long do you think fry will last in a small amount of water that doesn't have an oxygen supply, and is in your jocks?
 
I've been mulling over this thread rereading the first post a few times. It seems from the first post alone, it is clear we are discussing illegal activities. So for this, the thread ceases to be continued. Any questions, please PM me.
