Hi April,
What are the requirments of the buyer in Canada needs to pick up the fish at the airport?

Dan as long as the receiver is just a hobbyist and not a retailer we don't need anything. All we have to do is clear them through Customs and pay the sales tax on them...that it.

Retailers need a bit more paper work but there are no import permits or anything like that; that we have to get here....

You have more work sending them to us than we do receiving them

Best is to contact Cary from Great Lake Discus or Choice, he can work out things for you.

We ship to a FedEx hold on location in USA (at the border) and customer goes over and pick them up, like April said.

Dan, offical it has to go from here to Canada by Fish & Wild life (export)

Here in Canada, we go to cargo at the airport, I go to Toronto International, pick up papers at one office, then head to customs, if you're a hobbyist we pay G & P on the shipment, then return with the papers to the cargo bay, get them stamped, then pick up your fish.
