The honest answer is that I've never thought about going into the
mail-order business, and never looked into it. When crossing borders
with live goods, I imagine there is extra paperwork needed to verify the
product and associated inspections. Many items which are legal in Canada
and the northern US are classified as invasive elsewhere. Is the onus on
the buyer or the seller to be aware of local regional statutes?

I can just imagine trying to get a fish or plant from Canada in through the
Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service :-)

I'm not even alowed to import an Apple or a Grapefruit from a neighbouring
state without a certificate. Bringing a live cat from the USA to Australia
mandates 6 month quarantine for the kitty.
