It is the Buyer's responsibility to verify whether this restriction applies to their purchases prior to bidding. No sale shall be rescinded if the Buyer is remiss in this regard. You must ensure that you have reviewed your country's laws before you purchase or ship any works made from, or containing parts made from, these restricted materials. It is your responsibility to obtain any necessary permits. No sale shall be rescinded if a permit (CITES or otherwise) cannot be obtained. We encourage you to visit the CITES website www.cites.org.
