Hi Aengus,

Please don't think people are ignoring you - I personally cannot help you, and I'm not sure if anyone here can.

Just did not want you to feel that we didn't look at your question I just do not have an answer for you.

Regards,

Jenn

Exporting to Sweden is tough, that is why no body wants to answer.

Exporter from point of collection or from a wholesaler in the US? I only have experience with Norwegian lfs, and most of them get their fish from somewhere like Singapore or they get them from wholesalers in the UK or Holland (This is much less common).
On the one occasion I've seen someone get livestock from the US it was prohibitively expensive.

from point of collection in the first place and I have had som experience of exporters from the US,little more expensive but higher quality.

aengus/wayne,
While I can't answer your question, I can extend a warm welcome to the reefs.org Industry Forum. It sure would be great if you guys would continue to contribute to the dialogue on industry issues from your perspective. Have y'all heard about the MAMTI document yet? How about hr4928?

PS If you achieve MAC certification they can arrange to have your fish sent to you with only 1% DOA or less. :wink: Contact Peter Scott www.aquariumcouncil.org for more details.

Mitch,
You are soooo... mean.

My best suggestion would be to contact some of the larger U.S. exporters, and ask if they'd mind sharing info on the folks they import from. You're not taking business directly away from them, though there might be issues regarding taking up the stock they wish to bring in.

I'd also start by contacting the fisheries departments/agencies of the countries you're interested in importing from. While they more often deal with food fish, there certainly ought to be at least a lead to ornamentals.

These are some of the best exporters in the world. If you mean that little jab about the 1%, well as of MACNA in Boston it still the standard the industry will be held too, both in the US and Europe.
