Members kiwican Posted April 30, 2017 Members Report Posted April 30, 2017 That's about the size of it. Your best bet is to contact the CBSA and ask for the memo concerning importation of such things and see if a license is required. Quote
Members kiwican Posted April 30, 2017 Members Report Posted April 30, 2017 Tearghost, make sure you can bring it to Canada legally or you run the risk of it getting seized and a risk of getting charged don't be this guy https://www.ec.gc.ca/alef-ewe/default.asp?lang=En&n=407DCE68-1 Found the memo http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/dm-md/d19/d19-7-1-eng.pdf Quote
Members MarcinB Posted April 30, 2017 Members Report Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) CITES spieces are one that are endangered. For them you need to have special papers that shows they are legally obtained. Most popular CITES spieces are all crcodoiles, pythons, elephant, hipo and some spieces of lizards(fe. waranus niloctus). I've got them with papers valid within EU, when importing you need to get CITES import permit - it's possible with my papers but it takes approx 3 months to get this permit. But I won't even offer you those spieces, as I prefer to deal with them only within EU. On my site every spiece that need CITES got this info in details. And for raw leather it's leather that haven't been tanned, due to health care it need to have lots of work done before importing. Same goes for bones, antlers, teeth etc. Sharks, stingrays, eel and most of snakes are non-CITES spieces, so no paperwork need to be done - it's just like cow leather.

Members tearghost Posted May 1, 2017 Author Members Report Posted May 1, 2017 Thank you all for your help. It makes sense now. Quote
Northmount Posted May 1, 2017 Report Posted May 1, 2017 non-CITES spieces are good to go. Only problem would be with raw leather products and CITES spieces. Rest I've shipped succesfully :). Doing lots of sales to Canada, USA and Australia - i think those countries have most demanding customs. Hi MarcinB Please add your location to your profile so people know where you are. Tom Quote
