Ambassador leatheroo Posted March 22, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) 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) Edited March 22, 2008 by leatheroo Quote "]http://leatheroo.blogspot
Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted March 22, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted March 22, 2008 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. Ken Quote Beaverslayer Custom Leather<br />Wearable Works of Art https://www.facebook...erCustomLeather

Members Myriam Posted March 22, 2008 Members Report Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) Did a quick search on this. Found this post about the US and Australia (it has links to the appropriate websites for each): http://fallen-leaves.net/index.php?name=PN...pic&t=16819 As for Canada, man, did I have a hard time finding something. Made my head spin 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): http://www.cites.ec.gc.ca/eng/sct0/index_e.cfm Wish I had more money available right now, that sure sounds like a good price to me!

Ambassador leatheroo Posted March 22, 2008 Author Ambassador Report Posted March 22, 2008 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... www.leffler.com.au Quote "]http://leatheroo.blogspot
