Contact your regional Fish & Wildlife agent. The following article will outline the rules: http://characin.com/carey/articles/97/import_rules.html As for plants, I was told that they are more complicated than fish and require a more meticulous inspection: Plants can harbor unseen pests and may require a quarantine.
