CITES Import and Export Restrictions – Lots marked with * in this sale Certain goods offered for sale may be subject to laws governing export from the country where it was purchased and import into another country. It is the buyer’s responsibility to be aware of these restrictions and obtain any relevant licenses. Certain endangered species are listed in the CITES Convention. Listed specimens and any parts or products thereof are subject to issuance of an export permit when leaving the European Union. Appendix I species are also subject to issuance of a prior import permit from the country in which the goods are to be imported. Such permits are necessary before applying for export permits and it is the Buyer’s duty to initiate the proceedings with the relevant authority. The Buyer must be aware that certain countries prohibit the import of some species or any parts or products derived thereof. For example, the United States prohibit all import of African elephant ivory, and any item containing parts that may merely resemble African elephant ivory must be accompanied by relevant documentation stating it is not the latter. Worked items that are dated before 1947 are exempt from import restrictions for intra-EU trade and shall not require export licences. Please be aware that all Lots marked with the symbol ‘*’ are subject to CITES regulations. Limitation of liability regarding CITES export licenses: where licences are required for importing or exporting outside of the European Union, it is the Buyer’s duty to obtain them. Thimbleby and Shorland cannot be held responsible if the Buyer’s application for an export permit is unsuccessful. In the event of failure thereof, Thimbleby and Shorland shall not permit cancellation or rescission of the sale.
