International shipping

[Rodders02]

Hey all, don't know if this is the right place to post this or not, but can you ship fish internationally from the US to Australia? And if yes for just maybe one box how much roughly would it cost? And if all this is good I was hoping to get some rtm's (parachromis motaguense) and or black nasty's (nandopsis haitienis) as there are one of these fish in aus and they are really cool fish. I know it'll be expensive but I'm sure some people would be happy to do a group buy as this is more of just getting this fish out there in Australia.

Cheers, Tom

you need pay for customs, import/export and etc etc. other than the actual
cost of shipping and the costs of the shipping materials and the fish itself.
unless your buying from a us vendor its most likely they would charge you
for the difference in fees for custom and what not. not to mention if it is
shipped it most likely wont be a one way trip here as that has a high chance
of death and most if not all vendors will not give you doa guarantee on
any live shipments that's not over night to 1-2 days.

That and Australia's laws regarding invasive species is fairly strict.

Probably best to find a transshipper

For a fee they can import into the US for you, its usually cheaper than buying a one time permit

^ also that. aus laws on import/export of live fish/animals is very strict.
so make sure you check if the fishes you want is legal to get or not.
