So I plan on getting a coloubrid as theyre not part of that restricted list. I just want to make sure before I'm past the point of no return theres no other stipulations.

It's actually C.I.T.E.S, Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species
and the information is there on the restrictions and agencies to contact in the event of wanting to import.

These links were very helpful. Thanks so much Nanny! So now the only question that remains is when arriving at the border crossing what info they will want to confirm that this isnt a restricted species from this list and should I be getting documentation form the seller to confirm the species for the border guard? That was the only thing I couldn't find in that document.
