Import Tips
• Include shipment manifests specifying 'bait use only' to prevent reclassification as ornamental fish
• Use insulated shipping containers to comply with temperature requirements for live aquatic animals during international transport
• Check for USFWS permits if the species is non-native to the import state, as some bait fish are restricted
