Do exotic materials require special import permits?Updated 7 days ago

Yes. Some items — such as products made with exotic leathers (e.g. crocodile, python, or ostrich) — are regulated under international trade rules (CITES) and may require an import permit in your destination country.

If your order contains an item made from a regulated material, this may affect delivery in a few ways: customs may hold the shipment for permit verification, additional documentation may be required, and in some countries, import may be restricted or prohibited altogether.

If you're unsure whether an item you're ordering falls into this category, contact us before placing your order and we can help confirm. Please check your destination country's import requirements before ordering these products.
