Currently planning on buying corals from RR, WWC and TSA, however, they do not offer international shipment to HK. Wondering is there anyone familiar with coral exporters.

First into this business and only familiar with the regulations in my home countries. Hope to get some guidelines and advices from here. Thank you!!!!
 
I buy from Jakarta 2.5hrs away and out of the 4 shipments 3 the boxes have been smashed and corals dead. I would really buy local. I am currently trying to send a water sample back to Australia for an ICP test and it is proving so hard due to Oz bio security measures, to the extent I have asked Triton Germany where their other labs are. Importing live coral from another country imo wouldnt be worth the effort as a one off due to the paperwork involved
 
Only as a commercial vendor; there's a lot of import/export paperwork required. You're probably better off sourcing locally.
What do you mean by sourcing locally? As I have looked up the regulations, if travellers would like to travel abroad with corals, they also have to apply for permit and hobbyists also considered as commercial use.

Does anyone in Hong Kong sell coral?
 
Dont quote me on this, but last time I went to hong kong ~10 years ago, you can find corals, nems, hermit crabs, all along the beaches, Im sure there should be some local vendor. If push comes to shove maybe locally collect?
