Oh, wonderful CITES!
Al -- Actually, I think you're being VERY optimistic when you opine that
"your governments' CITES office can help ... " Not every place even has one, and mine told me that I needed both CITES and phyto papers to ship to Guam, a US possession -- and as proof thereof, faxed me a paper which very clearly said the opposite. I decided to forego the [rather sizeable] sale rather than deal with the bureaucracy. Kenni "Al" wrote in message ... Are signatory countries able to grant export permits to selected other countries or is it an ALL or none kind of deal. So if Country "A" has a plant within it's border and declares it to be on the Appendix I list can it grant export permits to Country 'B" but not to country "C" I *think* the answer is no. If you can find the plant for sale in Country 'B" but country 'A" does not allow export, then you can not get legal permission to bring into Country 'C" from Country "B" or to buy it legally inside country 'B" or Country C...no matter how it got there. Of course, I could be wrong. If country A does not allow it's export, it doesn't matter how the plant is collected or propagated inside country A, you can't have it if you don't live there. If you want to buy a plant from outside your country, make sure you understand permit requirements; don't count on the vendor to know. If you find a plant inside your country that you question, check with your government's CITES office to be sure. Your government's Cites office can help with both issues. On the other hand, if you want to express an opinion, you've come to the right place. IMHO, a thread with a name like this one was meant to burn. Enjoy it, but be wary...and bring your thick skin. |
