US TSA clearance

Post by dherrington1 »

Greetings all,
I recently moved to Albania from the US and had to rehome my beautiful colony that I'd built up for the last 4 years. All Mustafa's breeds and it was such a joy to have. I miss them terribly and wanted to start a new colony here in Albania. My concern is getting them through TSA from Phoenix outbound to Europe. There is a single older thread on here about it, but I'm looking for information from anyone who has recently completed this journey. I'm thinking no more than 20 shrimp and a few snails as I need to keep my tank smaller. Any advice is greatly appreciated as always.

Cheers!

Greetings, dherrington1:

I have no experience in this, but to let you know, with the government shutdown, there is a lot of trouble with incoming foreign packages. Many are undeliverable and being destroyed. I'm guessing bottlenecks may be exist for outgoing packages, too. Then there is the whole tariff thing adding costs to everything.... There are no Opae'ula breeders in Europe? That may be your only option. Good luck in Albania and with rebuilding your flock of shrimp! ^_^
