Cites permit and corals

[Tarolisol]

Well ive been looking into the cites permit because i was hoping to bring some corals back with me when i go to the states, I couldnt find a price for the permit but i did find alot of interesting things. First of all if im reading it right you DO NOT need a permit to import most corals including acros, only the exporting country needs the permit. This is because hard corals are classified under appendix II of cites with means only the exporting country needs the permit. For stuff under appendix I then both parties, import and export, need the permit. With this said would i be able to bring corals over the boarder?
