HyprNekoStorm Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Does anyone know what happens if customs seizes your imported beetles? I was just wondering? Do you get a fee or do they just I N C I N E R A T E them? (Im not going to illegally import beetles, Im filling out a permit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugboy3092 Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I believe you get a notice/warning, and possibly fees , it depends on how many times youre caught and where you live. If they do seize it, yes its most likely incinerated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetle-Experience Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Yes, it depends on the offense, who catches you and if you have been caught before. Depending on the situation and types of beetles, they (USDA anyway) will sometimes offer them to a permit holding institution like a zoo instead of killing them.
