pannaking22 Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 No, they're highly regulated and you can get in loads of trouble if caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RexaDynastes3516 Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 If it's within the states it's not likely to be caught, however if you are trying to receive the package from overseas there's a high possibility you'll get a knock on your door from some federal agents. I would not risk it unless you have a permit specifically for importing that species. Try finding a seller within the states, it's much safer that way!

kevink Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 I've got some experience with this issue. All interstate shipping is regulated, and prohibited without a permit. There seem to be exceptions, and to me, the first mistake would be to ask an authoritative agency. Overseas shipments of livestock are also prohibited and you'll never get a permit unless you're a professional entomologist or work for a zoo. Realistically, I've never heard of any issue with shipping any livestock within the USA, and with overseas I've never heard of any of my trading partners from InsectNet.com, having an issue. A lot of things are illegal that people ignore, speeding in your car, texting and driving, underage drinking. Breaking a law, or rule is a personal choice and hobbyists are unlikely to have an issue, unless they're careless, just like any other law or rule. I have spoken with one person who was caught raising Actias selene, he was fined and did not disclose the amount. I have spoken with another person who told me he knew several persons who were caught importing beetle livestock from overseas, and the fines were in the 6 figure amounts, and go with increased scrutiny. If you choose to accept the risk, I'd communicate frankly with the seller about these issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyes Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Sure if you want thousands of dollars of fines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
