 |
|
How do you go about international shipping?
Do you have to arrange it with the dealer? Times, Flights, Delivery Time etc...
Do you have to order a certain amount to qualify for overseas or does the breeder decide that?
Do they have to be packaged in a certain way as so to not get damaged/killed?
Thanks in advance... |

you need import or export documents, they need to be shipped by airlines that are licensed to ship livestock, all checked up on, its not cheap and its not easy.

Find a dealer/breeder willing to export

Yep, all needs to be pre-arranged
Do you have to order a certain amount to qualify for overseas or does the breeder decide that?
Each breeder/dealer will be different, there are no set rules so just ask the person you want to buy from
Do they have to be packaged in a certain way as so to not get damaged/killed?
Yep, there are strict regulations regarding transportation.

I thought the exchange rate was real good in our favour at the moment..?

So do they get checked at the airport? |

Yes the exchange rate is good but the import fees, vets fees and vat still cripple you.
and yes all imports are checked and there is no fooling them about what you bring in!!!!!!!!!
