Yes, shipments to the US have to clear USFW and customs. If you live in an entry port city (SFO, LAX, MIA, JFK, BWI, EWR, ORD, ATL airports etc etc) this is quite easy. Most of the time USFW will not charge you if you are a hobbyist. Customs is free, there is no charges on fish.
Meantime i have one person in San Francisco and one in NY/NJ that can help clear customs, so we can ship to most people this way now.
Please do not ask me to send piranhas, stingrays or Channas (we do have these in stock often for non-US countries!) to you if they are not legal in your state, with the required permits from USFW this is not possible. We will not ship any species not legal in your state.
If anyone wants to see a list send me an e-mail.
