Import Tips
• Ensure Platies are shipped in oxygenated bags to maintain their health during transit, as CBSA requires live fish to arrive in good condition
• Provide the species name (Xiphophorus maculatus) on the invoice for accurate classification
• Check if a CFIA import permit is needed for live fish from your country of origin
