Importing Chams from US

Does any one have any info on how to do this?
I have looked around like mad and am now very confused. I looked at CITES and the Gov of Canada website and there is no real proceidure listed does anyone happen to know anything about this???

It depends on the chameleon and if they are appendix one or two. Then you or/and the exporter need to apply and qualify for permits.

Far as I know, it's pretty difficult to get those permits :S.

It's not difficult to get the permits, it's just time consuming! I've talked to some of the breeders in the US and most can not be bothered to do up the CITES paperwork for just one or two animals it's too costly. This is not the rule though. Best to inquire with the breeder themselves to see what their policies are.

Good luck! I too would like to see some of the wierder species up here as well.
