What are the laws in Canada on shipping live insects?

KC

"Live insects and pests may be imported provided that they are properly packaged, identified and have an import permit if required."
As found on Canada Post Customs Requirements.

Canada's regulations look much simpler than the US's. The way I read it, you have to fill out an import application for each exporter you are dealing with. You will be provided with a permit number that must be displayed on the package. The only moth eggs that I have that I'd be willing to ship to BC are polyphemus (other moths I have are not native to BC).

The regs do say that some shipments must include a "Phytosanitary Certificate." If poly eggs would need this, I'm out because from looking at the USDA's website, me getting one of these certificates would be a huge hassle.
