Wildlife Laws and Restrictions:
At Skulls Unlimited, we prioritize compliance with all applicable laws and regulations related to the sale, export, and import of animal specimens. While we are committed to assisting our customers to the best of our abilities, we want to emphasize that we are not legal experts, and our primary role is to provide high-quality products and services related to animal specimens.
As a general rule, Skulls Unlimited cannot provide legal guidance or advice on which animal species may be prohibited in an individual's state or country. The legality of owning or trading in certain animal specimens can vary significantly by location and is subject to change over time. Therefore, it is the responsibility of our customers to be aware of and comply with all relevant local, state, national, and international laws and regulations governing the possession, sale, and transportation of animal specimens.
We assure our customers that we will take every precaution to comply with local laws and regulations that apply to our business operations, as well as those that may apply to the importing individual. This includes adhering to all necessary permits, licenses, and documentation required for the sale and transportation of animal specimens.
Customers who have questions or concerns regarding the legal status of a specific animal specimen in their area are encouraged to seek legal advice from qualified professionals or consult their local wildlife authorities. We are here to assist with any non-legal inquiries related to our products and services and are committed to fostering responsible and ethical practices within the field of natural history and specimen collecting.
Skulls Unlimited remains dedicated to providing high-quality educational and scientific resources while promoting responsible and lawful conduct within the realm of animal specimens.
International Orders:
Occasionally Skulls Unlimited will require Bank transfers for particular International Orders.
No products, real or replica offered by Skulls Unlimited require paperwork of any kind, as long as they are shipped to an American address. The fees below apply only to shipments leaving the United States.
Replica products do not require any clearance from the United States and will be shipped without any additional fees.
Please be aware that on all International Orders, shipping charges and fees may vary depending on the items requested, their weight, and destination.
Customers are responsible for all customs fees charged by their country. This may involve being required to pay the delivery person when your package is delivered. If an item does need to be returned, it should be sent so that no customs fees are charged to Skulls Unlimited. This can be done by telling the shipper that the order is a return for replacement (or that the item is damaged). If customs fees are billed to Skulls Unlimited your return will be refused.
Special Considerations about Placing International Orders for Real Wild Animal Products.
Wild Animal Products require inspection by U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services (USFWS) for export from the United States.
International orders for these items are gladly accepted. There are certain fees to be expected when we export your order. United States law requires every fish and wildlife product must leave the country through a designated port for inspection. The closest USFWS designated port to Skulls Unlimited is Dallas,Texas. There will be a filing fee assessed to you in order to get all necessary documnets and permits in order, normally about $75.00.
All parcels containing real animal products most often also need a U.S. Dept of Agriculture Export certificate at the cost of $51.00. This form often allows easy clearance of real animal products into your country.
The USFWS has an inspection fee of $93.00 to clear your shipment.
Once the parcel is cleared by USFWS, the parcel would need to ship by a bonded freight forwarder. Estimated shipping charges will vary and you will be contacted to approve shipping charges before shipping.
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES)
Unfortunately, items that are CITES are unable to be exported out of the United States.
