CFOh Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Saw below ~10" to 1ft Squamosa in seafood restaurant @ Batam. And very good price.. ~RP150000.. Wonder how they cook them? and imagine this Clam could be even cheaper in Wet Market?

thairun Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Oh mind, remind me of my squamy last week . A history clam of the same size with me for 3years Just mere 6 " to the said size. This is all because one reefer who kept on delaying to pick it up. Lesson learn clam do not like to open mentle touch each other. One will give way to the other for space. They are light lover and need good space for food process through their mentle. An expensive lesson learn. Question can those clam bought bring back home? What the custom excercise?

Oh just came back from makan seafood at Pendas, Johore yesterday. Came across a reminder note at our immigration counter stated NO meats and eggs are allowed to clear custom excercise. The other 2 of the 4 stated that allowed I recalled are proccesed and cook foods and 30 ornamental fishes in 3litre of water. Thats strange! there is no other restriction stated about clams. If I recalled again the other 2 are vegetables and fruits. Thats only access through Singapore/ Malaysia not Indonesia. Hmm.... just curious if really can bring them in from Indonesia at a cost of only $25 thats very cheap! As compare in Singapore $50 - $100 Actually if you have space in your tank, this bugger really do a good job in nitrate filtering IMHE. The biger the best, agreed too about the calcification to build up the shell.

No matter for hobbyist use or commercial use... Base on AVA regulation link below... is ok for hand carry with condition for baggage of travellers only. But I don't know any changes now... Pls check with official before purchase... http://www.ava.gov.sg/InformationForTravellers/BringOrnamentalFish/index.htm Anyway, LFS did bring in occasionally, we can get locally with convenient & better acclimatise.

thairun Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hey thanks CFOh, this is good info. You remind me to one LFS owner I chat with long ago, to bring them is not a problem provided you follow the rules set by AVA true CITIES permit. If you bring more than the set regulation in weight and quantity then you have to face the music/dance. Do you know that if you bring in the 6th and are caught you have to pay penalty of $4,000 each. That no joke bro! That the words of reminder to those interested to bring them in.

yellowtang Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Juat called AVA and spoke to a friendly gentleman. Clams is under Cites species, so you need a cites import and export permit from AVA. Dont be confused with the import licence, which is needed only if you bring in more than the stipulated allowable quantity. The good part is soft corals is not in cites list. Fish except koi and carps is also not in the cites list. So you can hand carry them within the lawful stated quantity. cheers, ** In short, if you hand carry a clam, you will need only a Cites Permit from AVA. If you want to bring in 100 clams, you need a Cites Permit and an import licence from AVA.** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
