finley 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2007 Hi I have never imported fish, but am considering it. Can we import from any country, or only certain ones? e.g. If I find breeders of the quality that I am after in Europe or the US, can I ask a transhipper to get them from there for me? Thanks.

Robbies Betta 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2007 here is a link to the thread in which someone explains about the terms and conditions about importing fish, as well as the ONLY countries which we can import from http://ausaqua.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=4758 we don't import from America, cause it'll take far to long and the costs are not worth it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Callatya 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2007 You can import from Europe etc. AQIS import details Scroll down for countries. Finding an importer that could do all of those countries though would be a job and a half. Most of the ones I know of only import from select countries from that list.

Bettarazzi 205 Report post Posted October 12, 2007 Finding an importer is one thing. And there are many aquarium shops that import their own fish. In Melbourne I know that Coburg Aquarium does and Malvern Aquarium used to (not sure if they still do). But I think getting them to deal with a hobbyist is a whole other ballgame. And we're not just making a general request for them to bring in a particular species or variety. We're asking them to import a specific fish from a specific breeder.

Fishchick 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) AQIS will not release a list of importers. try using the search function on the site. Most of the information you require has already been listed. Import Condtions topic Please note I only import from Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.
