Import Tips
• Provide import permits from U.S
• Fish & Wildlife Service if shipping internationally for ornamental release
• Ship in double-bagged systems with pure oxygen to handle longer transit times for crucian carp
• Label shipments clearly as 'ornamental live fish - not for consumption' to avoid food fish scrutiny
