Got a Question for all you

[JRBear5658]

So I am heading to Canada in March and I had a few questions for all you.

1. What are the laws for bringing back coral, fish, invert and live rock over the border?

2.) What are some good Stores between Bellingham Wa. and Vancouver B.C.?

3.) Has any one brought live stock in the Washington from B.C.



Thank you for reading

I never bought any livestock from Canada but don't you think it might be a little more expensive to buy livestock in Canada than in the US???

 

[JRBear5658]

I'm not a finace guru but I think the USD is stronger than the CD.

The exchange rate seemed pretty even last time I went there in Jan.
So things aren't necessarily cheaper there like it used to be.
I paid with my debit card and although they added the tax at the stores, it was taken out when I
checked my charges later on.

I have heard that they will confiscate livestock at the border and one guy told me he lost a couple hundred dolllars worth of corals he bought in Portland as he tried to get it across. Once they found that, they checked his car with a fine tooth comb.
I would think liverock would fine as it is just rocks.
