I think you need to do it yourself, and sell the species you import. having an arrangement like this is really a business arrangement.... personally, i would want documents drawn up and a company formed....to get involved in a joint venture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I have imported fish in a previous life. Step one is go to see MPI and get the physical requirements for importing and quarantine of fish Step two is go to your local authority and get their requirements for the importation and quarantine of fish Step three is go to your Regional Council and get their requirements for the importation and quarantine of fish. Step four is cost it all out and see if you would rather do it or just dream about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Those issues still need to be addressed. There are requirements for the construction of the building and the equipment in it, the behavour of workers and the proccesses within the building and the disposal of waste water etc. The building needs to be listed in the gazette and to meet the requirements of the district and regional plans. This could mean building consents, and resource consents as well as approvals from MPI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But It seem like many people are on about the cost of setting it up!! May I ask u ,what was approx or extract cost to set one up back in your day? Excluding tanks and stand of course?

Iam base in business zone5, commercial and light industrial area, I got my resource consent to operated retail..every thing is possible if you are keen at it!! I hear from a petshop owner saying there was a man who set up a quarantine in his home garage before,, Most people will tend to think it a big mission for all the construction,plumbing and fitting!! But if you are in the trade and know what u are doing then a septic tank to dispose contaminate water isn't much on a headache!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 yes can be done in a garage allow an extra 15G on top of costing for loss of entire shipment and idle time between shipments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its more about the red tape than anything, im sure it has been done before, but has it been done in an economically viable way?? you would nee a rather large septic tank to dispose of the amount of water required..

Jaxxnz Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 yes can be done in a garage allow an extra 15G on top of costing for loss of entire shipment and idle time between shipments Planning to do small shipment with requested list, not really keen to purchase big bulk of shipment.. I also ware of percentage of loss during quarantine process. :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy set up a quarantine in his home garage..I can't think of him having a large 10k litre septic tank under his garage floor!! Septic tank can be any container keeping water while treating it..

Jaxxnz Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 how do you plan on treating the water??? Honestly Iam not going to answers all the MPI requirements.. There are chemical of course!! But like I said from right the beginning, we will go along with all requirements require!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 how do you plan on treating the water??? I believe this is the question he's asking anyone with knowledge on the matter. All he wants is information to see if it's viable for him to set up a facility of his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 good on ya, I'm sure every1 here is supporting you all the way just helping you realise that the powers that be (and the people that whisper in their ears hint hint) will try and make it harder for you. if you get through all the bull though im sure the helpers and offers will come rolling in.

Matto Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 im pretty sure there was a topic recently in which some members had concerns about the conditions you keep your own fish in and now your going to quarantine thousands of dollars worth of fish? :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxxnz Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Many thanks that I could say!! Iam still keen to seeking for more good people in here to take this challenge up to the next level, Is still a short number. but my question to most of you here is? Iam willing to offer a great opportunity to help you and me getting in what we really want instead of waiting n waiting for the importer!! Why aren't some of you not real keen to get up and giving me a hand to accomplish this opportunity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepsnana Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 People can think what ever they like about, I like to do what ever I like to do.. This sort of attitude could put a lot of people off working with you. Why aren't some of you not real keen to get up and giving me a hand to accomplish this opportunity? Not all of us require a particular fish that isn't already here. I am happy with the fish that I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 This topic comes up every month or so for the 10ish years I've been reading the board. I can't think of anyone that has actually gone through with it. Maybe Reef. That'd be about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
