Getting stuff shipped from the US?

[mathaldo]

Hey,
I've been looking and trying to get some reptiles from the US, and it looks like a lot of work and time, is there an easier way? What's all the stuff you need to do to get reptiles imported to here? Is it worth it, or is it way too expensive unless you're getting a huge shipment?
Thanks

Whether it's 'worth it' is really up to you. I have had CITES animals sent to me from the States and yes, in my case, it was worth it. The snake may have cost a couple hundred or so bucks more for the paperwork and such. I've never had a 'huge shipment' sent down, usually only one snake, but if you want it bad, it doesn't matter where it's coming from.

I agree with Mykee. I will soon be doing a HUGE shipment from the states, and I think it's worth it if you're getting stuff that can't be found up here.
