CITES permits are expensive I think that company in B.C is the only one doing it I'm starting a new tank so I looked everywhere trying to find wild harvested live rock after seeing it's 20 bucks a pound now on JL. Worth it I guess though because that rock is gorgeous when you get itThanks for the info, its not listed on their website so I'll call them later. My bad, Big Al's told me during covid time they weren't allowed to import live rocks, so I took it to mean it wasn't allowed, but maybe it was just them. Doing some googling this morning, it is legal but apparently not easy.
