legal issues in shipping fish and corals
Hi everyone,
I've been browsing this thread and while there is plenty of advice for shipping methods, I haven't seen any mention of the shipping policies for live animals. According to the Fedex website, shipping fish or corals requires approval from their Live Animal Desk, must be from a business to a business, and must use approved packaging. Alternately, according to the USPS, anyone shipping live animals must coordinate with the Expedited Services Office. Does anyone use these procedures? And regarding commercial shipments, I assume that websites shipping live fish or corals must follow the standards of the shipping industry, if there is anyone who has shipped commercially, can you explain the process?
Thanks.
