Import Tips

• Declare end-use (e.g

• aquarium, bait) on commercial invoice to avoid reclassification as food product

• Comply with USFWS live animal import requirements, including health certificates from origin

• Monitor mortality rates during shipping; high losses may trigger FDA/USDA inspections for disease
