Importing rock,fish and corals from the USA

[BlueAbyss]

Dry rock can be imported if it is NOT made from coral skeletons, hence why BRS was only selling that one kind of rock to Canadians (it contained no coral skeletons). The deal with live rock is it is often dead coral heads, and so has CITES restrictions. Or at least that's how I understood it (correct me if I'm wrong).

To import stony corals (or live rock, for that matter) you would need the original photosanitary certificate as well as some other piece of documentation relating to the original importation of said coral or live rock to the US. I read up on the process a bit a while back, and for some reason I seem to think that you can import fish more easily that corals... I'll look around in my history and see if I can find the page.
