Hello Peter and everyone else,
I have some practical business questions when it comes to selling exotics. How does it work to sell exotic items internationally? For example what are the custom duties and are there any extra fees? How do returns work?
What happens if you make 3 items out of one skin with one Cites certificate? Do you just add copies of the certificate? And what is the most practical payment method for sales like this?
I hope everyone here can give me some more insight on these topics.
Kind regards,
Talitha Joy
cites process is managed differently across countries but it is centered around the import and export certificates. it is best to check with your country if you intend to export, and for the receiver to check with their own country what the process is like. a general rule is that the export permit must be applied, before it can be shipped. the importer needs to have the export permit ready to apply for the import permit. but some items can be exempted, for eg completed products don’t need an import certificate. i believe some countries charge a flat fee, but some countries charge fees per piece of item.
