BOUNCE killietalk at aka_org: Non-member submission from [DanFelts <Felts at uckac_edu>]
To someone with the answers,
My wife and I are leaving for the Central African Republic in 2 weeks
and I'm interested in returning with some aquarium fish. I grew up over
there and had an aquarium with some 4 or 5 different varieties of killifish
- now that I'm attending school in CA I sort of miss it. My hope is to
bring back a some fish and, as I've no experience in the area of importing
or traveling with the things I need all the help I can get. I've a basic
idea of how to physically transport them (one question is why no one uses a
coleman cooler - why styrofoam?) and the concept of passing through US
customs is fairly straight forward - but what about getting the fish out of
C.A.R??? I don't want to end up in an African prison - and, as I am
familiar with the workings of African immigration officials - I would like
to have whatever forms, permits, documents and what-have-you so that I can
somehow get out of there with my fish. Once again, any info on obstacles I
could face would be very welcome - but especially; how do I find out about
permits for CAR?
Thanks a lot,
Josh Danforth
p.s. Like I said before, I had several varieties of killifish but no idea of
their common names (I called 'em all "guppies") and now that I'm looking to
import some, I will need not only common but scientific names for the
Declaration forms. Any advice you can give here would be appreciated as
well. Thanks
