Question about live rock from jamaica

[jecarl2]

I'm going to Jamaica in a month and was wondering if it is legal to bring back a piece of lve rock out of the ocean. I have not been able to find any customs restrictions for this. has anybody tried this before.
Thanks

It's not legal, I'd guess. I think you'd need CITES permits.

I think it would be banned if it was soaked in Bicardi:eek1: :rolleye1:

sorry couldn't resist--there is a toll free number for US customs--they can help you out.
In Canada we can't bring in from the US(and declare:lol: ) Actually some coral is allowed as long as it is not attached to live rock--duh
