CITES: Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna.

Due to US Fish and Wildlife CITES regulation changes, a CITES form 3-200-26 is necessary for the export of the following species from the United States; Bobcat, Lynx, River Otter and Alaskan Gray Wolf. This form is issued from Washington D.C. and averages between 60 and 90 days to process. Skulls Unlimited has no control over this government policy change and apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. Skulls Unlimited applies for this form on behalf of our customers.

Some specimens throughout the catalog bare the symbol of the CITES convention. These items require export permits from the United States and in many cases an import permit from the county of destination. An additional $100.00 will be assessed to cover the cost of the permit. This charge is per order (not per item). Certain CITES animals require an application for export from Washington D.C,, and it may take 60 to 90 days to receive these documents. Certain CITES animals offered in this catalog are not available for export, due to stringent export requirements from the United States.

International orders are gladly accepted for orders over $250.00. There is no minimum order required for any Items that do not need U.S. Fish & Wildlife clearance. There are certain fees to be expected when we export your order. By United States law every fish and wildlife product must leave through a designated port for visual inspection. The closest designated port to Skulls Unlimited is Dallas, Texas. There will be a transportation fee assessed to you in order to get your shipment to Dallas, Texas for clearance, normally about $75.00. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has an inspection fee of $55.00 to clear your shipment. All parcels will also need a U.S. Dept of Agriculture Export certificate $32.00. Once the parcel is cleared by United States Fish & Wildlife service, the parcel would need to ship by a bonded freight forwarder estimated shipping charges can range from $150.00 up to $225.00.

Domestic animals such as dogs, cat, horses, cattle, bison, domestic ferret, chinchilla, etc., as well as all replica skulls, do not require any clearance and will be shipped without any fees.
