Vehicles being used to export minnows out of state are required to be licensed as Exporting Minnow Dealer Vehicles. Non-residents who purchase minnows from licensed minnow dealers for export must obtain Non-resident Minnow Hauler and Non-resident Minnow Hauler Vehicle Licenses. Report FormsAs part of your exporting minnow dealer license renewal, you must submit a completed, signed Annual Report of Minnows Exported.
