I have done some research and know I need CITES from Canada as well as an exemption to cross at a non-registered portal. Any insight would be great.
Thanks,

If you don't get cites you're a smuggler and could be arrested. It's a lot quicker to get cites in Canada to ship to the US than the other way around.

Breeders in the US now have Cites months in advance for animals they will produce so they can ship quickly. Most smaller breeders do not though.
