Order Live Fish & Importing To Hawaii and Canada
Yes, we can ship to both Hawaii and Canada. This is an often asked question.
We do require proper paperwork to be completed and sent over to us either in the form of a scanned PDF file or just a very clear photo taken with your phone or digital camera. Send over all required paperwork once completed and/or approved from the Hawaiian or Canadian agencies to help@petzonesd.com.
For those residing in Hawaii, you can apply and find all the info regarding allowable fish to be sent from the mainland US to Hawaii here: https://hdoa.hawaii.gov/pi/pq/travel-shipping-information/importing-animals-to-hawai%CA%BBi-from-the-u-s-mainland/
Note, please have your paperwork and permit completed prior to placing your order with us to prevent delays in shipment.
