To much red tape. I got caught bringing 110 pounds of rock fm the Philippines last time. I was caught when departing Manila. Lucky I'm handsome and the girl let me go when I played dumb.

Yeah...that is for California. Lawrence is talking about committing some federal crime, hell, world crime. CITES is not fooling around. Go mine some Acropora fossils and try and ship them and see how far you get. CITES says no.
For it to be legal in any form, those corals will need to be collected under CITES conventions and you will need an import permit before you can get a CITES export permit. Somehow, I don't see CITES conventions being paid attention to in the Phillipines, especially in some random market. They still use friggin' cyanide for aquarium collection.
I would call CITES contacts directly. They are the only ones who really know. Otherwise, paying a wholesaler to ship/accept them for you is probably your best bet and is not unheard of.

Spoke with them today. They said no corals period.
Fish, yes with proper permits. I would also have to give 48 hr notice from the PI so customs can check my package when my flight touches LA.
Not worth it if you ask me. So, Lawrence there's our answer

Also, you gotta pay hourly for the inspector to come out, both state and federal.
