Importing Wild Betta

[MARIMOBALL]

I’m in Thailand on vacation and I wanted to bring a pair of wild betta. Does anyone know if I can bring a pair back on my carry on luggage?

If you are crossing national borders you need the appropriate permits. Bringing fish into the USA requires an importation permit, entry through a “designated port of entry” an appointment with a US Fish and Wildlife inspector, and possibly export permits and veterinary certificates. CITES is not generally relevant to fish as only one or two freshwater species are on the list.

Ik that if you put live fish in a container with water TSA allows it but that’s traveling by plane from state to state

lucky for her. I just don’t want to get fined at the airport or stopped. Someone told me I just need a certificate of quarantine about $3 from Thailand. Thanks for your suggestions.

What species of wild betta, Victor?

Depending on the price, quality, and species, you may be able to just buy one once you get back
