Transhipping
What is it &How does it work ?
Transhipping is where individuals like yourself buy live creatures from a supplier who is in another country and appoint us to
import them for you using our expertise and licences

Transhipping enables you to obtain fish that can not be found locally such as rare species or specimen fish for showing or breeding

Why do you need to use a Transhipper?
Fish can not just be sent by an international courier into the UK as there are laws and restriction put in place by our government to regulate what is imported to protect our environment
What can we import?
Any species of fish, shrimp, crabs etc that it is legal to own here
Where can we import from?
We have regular shipments from Indonesia & Thailand. If you choose another Asian country such as Vietnam the fish are then sent to Thailand where they will be looked after by our partner until our next shipment
Shipments from other countries can also be undertaken on your behalf, but you will need to pay for the entire shipment, please contact us for details
When will your fish be exported?
Your order will be combined with lots of other orders by the exporters into a shipment
