How to order fish from outside your country

[John Rambo]

I am toying with the idea of ordering from Canada, but all I know is that they will have to ship to a local airport where it must pass customs. I know nothing of this process and what must be done after. If anyone has experience with this, I would be greatful.

you will need an import license for starters

Well, i think he's point is there are other fishes that another country have and our country don't have. Or maybe it's the quality of the fishes from farms is his target.

In this case it might be from someone like Below Water?? Who would have cichlids and other fish that sometimes you can't get inside the u.s.

I would find an importer. Rich from Inifinate or Mike from H20 wouldnt be a bad place to start.

Well I found out the costs are super high. Not worth it unles Im buying dozens of fish. Ornatum, you win this time, but I'll be back!

Yeah that's usually the way it goes because you have to pay import fees, broker fees, etc... Might try splitting costs in a group buy type deal with locals? I Peanut_Power was trying to put together a group buy before from Below Water.
