beast 1,884 Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 i'm not sure exactly how it works but for certain animal species you need to get a certificate to be able to sell their body parts. as you point out, the age is important but you may be required to provide some proof of this. dont get caught out and end up getting them confiscated, do your research and let us know how you get on. i would guess your local auction house could advise you, or if not you could ask these people http://www.cites.org/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
