a) This lot is subject to CITES export/import restrictions and is duly certified: nr 23PTLX10822C;
b) Several countries prohibit the import of goods that incorporate materials from protected wild fauna and flora species, including, among others, ivory, coral and turtle;
c) In Portugal, according to the forecast transposition into the Portuguese legislation of the more recente EU guidance document concerning ivory commerce, the issuing of reexport certifications for non EU countries is suspended;
d) We therefore advise potential buyers to inform themselves in advance on the applicable legislation, in particular the customs regulations in force in the countries concerned.
