Bringing live rock back over the border ???

[B-ROMBERG]

Has anyone had issues with bringing live rock back over the border into Canada. I cant find it on cites act and Canadian and fisheries and oceans say it doesnt fall under any of there restictions ?

I have done it many times.  However I never call it live rock. It may throw up a few red flags to the border guys. I just say rock for my aquarium. I tell them it's half the price in the states that's why I buy it there. Never a problem.

YA, I would say rock, not live rock.
If they search and question you, your still good. You didnt lie.
Even then, they will probably let you across with it.

So can we just call coral fish tank decorations and bring them over too?

I'm sure you'll be ok with rock, call them if your worried.

Yes...but important to note that your not supposed to do this....so.at your own risk.  You are relying on the ignorance of the customs agent.
