Re: Shipping Fish 101... A primer

Have you ever encountered challenges or unique considerations when shipping fish to locations outside the continental United States, and how do you address them to ensure the safe arrival of the fish?

Shipping internationally is not something most hobbyists would do nor should they attempt it. Customs is a nightmare and many countries require health certificates. Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii is no different than continental USA except you have to understand that transit time could be longer so packaging is very important.. use long lasting heat packs and bag with adequate oxygen.

Shipping to US territories should be similar to shipping to hawaii and Alaska. I do not know this as a fact except that I have no issues shipping dry goods to Puerto Rico. Usps treats it as a US State.
