Fed Ex in Canada, and UPS, refused the accept fish. I phoned and they
were emphatic - didn't even need to look it up. I checked with friends
who ship, and they'd had the same info. Maybe they're good in the
States, but not internationally.
By the way, for Canadians, one courier company used to charge me customs
fees on products I later learned were duty free. Check these things out
- the mail system never did that to me.
