This service covers the application of the CITES-Export Permission for CITES-listed wood which will leave the European Community.
This service is compulsory for any buyer located outside the EC (Norway and GB included).
The current CITES regulation requires one export permit for each type of product.
Example: you need one permit for fingerboards, another for bridges, another for neck blanks and a forth for heels (2 x Rosewood, 2 x Mahagony)
Cost as to be assessed in the light of number of items you have ordered in a mixed consignment!
Besides the fees for application for the permit (s) there are additional cost for customs clearance.
All of our forwarders rendering such service insist on express air freight transportation (UPS Express Saver, DHL-Express).
This is mainly due to the fact that only few cross-border stations dispose of qualified staff who is familiar with CITES-procedures.
For international forwarding this personnel is stationed at the international airports only. So items have to be flown out!
For specific shipments you are invited to contact us for further information and to get an estimate on air-freight rates in your specific case.
As we do not have any influence on the current regulations we do not take any responsability on increased shipping rate caused by CITES. .
