First you will need an import license. This cost about 150 per year. Then there are only like 5 points of entry, LA Atlanta, Chicago, NY to name a couple. You will have to get ahold of a broker at the port of entry you choose. You have to pay him by the hour. Then he has to arrange an inspection with USFWS. They also charge by the hour. And if it not between the hours of 7 am and 3 pm you get charged overtime. Also if the animals are cites listed you have to apply for cites paperwork/clearance-another expense. If is appendix 1 forget the whole deal! 2 and 3 not that much of a problem. I just imported 4 Ctenosaura oedirhina from Germany. The lizards cost 720.00 total then the additional cost to get them to me was 1300.00. So as you can see very expensive and time consuming. Tom Greb
