Hi guys!
I run an online coral store. I have a few international clients that have been bugging me to ship to them so I am going through the process of getting my Import/Export license and my CITES for re-export. I realize this may not be a quick and easy thing, but it is very worth while if I can get it to work out.
Like many things on the industry side of this hobby, getting information from other people in the biz has been like pulling teeth. Certain people have told me I need CITES permits for some corals which I have found out I don't, so its obvious they were just trying to discourage me from exporting. I don't intend to become a huge wholesaler so I think its silly there is so much misinformation, but so be it.
Are there any good brokers out there for this sort of thing? What are the better airlines to ship with? Any help you guys would be willing to give me, if any, would be much appreciated. Otherwise I'll just do this the hard way.
