Shipping Corns Abroad

For those of us who don't live in the USA, can anyone give me an idea of the costs and general problems involved, if someone (eg me :cool: ) wanted to buy some of your latest cvs to increase the availability of stock over here.

For example (and someone may prove me wrong) I have never seen "silver queens" or one or two of the other morphs on this side of the Atlantic.

I have no doubt that the costs will be prohibitively expensive, but I'd be interested to know if anyone could give me any genuine information.

Dependant on cost, it would possibly be worth a small group of us getting together to buy a shipment of snakes and then split the costs between us.

Any help / info appreciated

Cheers

Andy
 
I have only done one shipment outside of the U.S.A., and that one was to France. I had a friend of mine broker the shipping arrangements, and that cost alone came to close to $500 when all was said and done. The only reason I even agreed to do the order was because the total of the order came to over $6,000.

Believe me, it was a hassle. I had to take the entire shipment to the local vet to get them inspected and a health certificate issued for them. The flight has to actually be booked in advance and permit papers filled out. And that was BEFORE the 9/11 WTC attack. I suspect it is even more of a pain in the butt now.

Not saying I wouldn't do it again, but as you can see from the shipping costs, the order would have to be substantial to make it worth your while, as well as mine.
 
I can't really understand all the legal redtape involved with corns.

Over recent years we have been able to move stock around Europe with no problems at all.

The only time we have to even provide paperwork now is to move CITES animals (for obvious reasons)

Even then it's a simple matter of ensuring you have written confirmation that they were captive bred, including the name and address of breeder & date of birth/hatch etc

Oh well it was worth a try
