Shipping in and out of Arizona?

[NrthCstInverts]

Anyone know if its legal to ship things into Arizona?
I know they dont allow people to ship native species out..... but what about shipping things in? Specifically roaches and scorps?

 

[darrelldlc]

I have received roaches in the mail here, as well as Tarantulas and Scorpions no problem, I am not sure why some people do not ship roaches to AZ.

Are you looking for anything in particular? I sell roaches in and ship out of Arizona if you are looking for feeder roaches. Other than that I can't help you much...

hey Dan,
No i really dont need much right now.... but i will keep you in mind.

Actually someone just bought some stuff from me, and they are in Arizona. Then about an hour later i heard from a friend in Florida about the law, hes said Florida AND Arizona... just thought Id ask around

Thanks for the replies guys!

Let me see if I understand this correctly...

I am going to Az in late may to visit my mother. She has Ts all over her property. I figured I would catch one or two and mail it back to me here in Pa. Now I see this and what I'm getting from it is that it's against Az law to send a T out of the state...is that right?

Odinn,
i really dont know. thats why im inquiring in here, thought maybe some of the more knowledgeable memebers from AZ might know whats up.

And actually my question is geared more towards sending stuff into Arizona , not removing native life....


For what its worth i cant find anything at all online regarding these laws..... must not be looking hard enough

 

[NrthCstInverts]

I just found a pretty comprihensive list of the laws in Ariznoa....... and no where in the laws does it state Invertebrates are prohibited in any way.....

So i guess all is well for you Odinn, as well as me.......

course im no lawyer and im from Ohio , so,............. guess i could be worng.

 

[odinn7]

Perhaps I will just take my chances anyway and pack it up and mail it to me. In all likelyhood, nobody will even know except my mother and I'm sure she won't mind giving some of them up.
Thanks for looking and letting me know.

roaches

I have a permit from the USDA to ship to Arizona.
Thx,

James,
So then you are saying that a permit IS necessary to ship things into Arizona??

 

[james]

Yes

Shipping roaches to any state requires a permit. Nobody follows the rules, but that does not mean they don't exist. It's taking me almost a year and a lot of headaches to get permits, but they are a few bad seeds out there that will turn you in and I really don't want to be fined by the government.

James,
So that has to make it a USDA/Federal law?? how did you find out about it?

insects

There are only a handful of insects you do not need a permit from the USDA to ship. You have to fill out a 526 then it has to get approved by the Maryland HQ, then by each State. So you need a least 49 permits to ship to the US states. When shipping overseas then Fish & Game wants you to have an import/export as I found out the hard way.
