LIVE FISH TO HAWAII
Shipping Fish into Hawaii
Before I can ship any livestock into Hawaii, you (the customer) need to obtain a permit from the Hawaii State Dept. of Agriculture at 808-586-0844. This permit is only good for one shipment, and costs $5.00. You can also request a permit for unlimited shipments for one year. The cost is $50.00. One must pay by money order for the permit. It takes about 1-2 weeks to receive the permit from the time they receive it.
You would then fax me a copy of the permit for me to include in the shipment.
The State Dept of Agriculture inspector instructs that the shipping box be marked "Live Fish" and "For Dept of Agriculture to Inspect". The inspector said they monitor the post office twice a day to inspect parcels. They will open the box to see if what is in the box is what the permit is for to bring into Hawaii.
