sending leather overseas

Recommended Posts

i was wondering if anyone knows the laws in regard to sending leather products overseas. i have sent some masks to customers in the US and never thought whether or not i should be doing it. i marked on the package party mask.

I dont know what you guys are paying for lacing but i am paying about 60cents for 3mm roo in a 100 metre roll, if anyone is interested in me sending you some i could send it for cost plus shipping (payment would have to be by paypal)

Here in Canada there isn't the same regulations such as they have in California. I would always check first though before shipping anything overseas.

The 4.7mm natural, and the 6mm natural, what are the prices of it? And is an Australian dollar the same as a Canadian dollar? I ask because it is getting hard to find roo hides here in Canada.

Did a quick search on this. Found this post about the US and Australia (it has links to the appropriate websites for each):

As for Canada, man, did I have a hard time finding something. Made my head spin :wacko: It appears that only certain types of kangaroo are protected and requiring a permit so it would be needed to know first from what species the leather came from. You can find more info on this site (just do a search for kangaroo):

Wish I had more money available right now, that sure sounds like a good price to me!

thanks myriam, the articles were very interesting...it sounds like i could get myself into an expensive pickle if i send the roo lacing overseas.

Sorry beav...sounds like it might be a no goer.... i think the only way for you to get it would be to contact the supplier directly...
