Shipping overseas

[hamburglar]

Hey guys,

I've got a guy in the UK that wants me to ship him some corals. Yep, he will pay the FedEx cost.

Does anyone know if this is legal, or where I can look to find out? I don't even know where to start with this.

I know someone that shipped some zoas to Canada via UPS overnight... sat in customs for a few days before it got through and everything died. Appearently overnight doesn't always mean overnight going to other countries... I would talk to fedex and get some specific details about the overnight policy to the country your trying to ship too.

ive had a few corals shipped to me in the uk, mostly they all arrive ok.
not to sure on the legality though, i presume its ok as the seller/shipper assured me it was

Well we get corals into South Africa overnight from Singapore, Kenya, America, Hawaii, Sri Lanka etc. to all the LFS's and privately so should be ok but I am pretty sure you will need CITES permits

if you're exporting live animals you'll need the permits, or they could fine you like woah, also there's a good chance that it will sit in customs long enough to not make it
