Hi Graham,
You shouldent need an import permit from the states from eppendix II animals unless specified, at least here in Canada we only need the export from the states to import we dont need an import for appendix II....
Here is a copy of the original cites text...
Appendix-II specimens
An export permit or re-export certificate issued by the Management Authority of the State of export or re-export is required.
An export permit may be issued only if the specimen was legally obtained and if the export will not be detrimental to the survival of the species.
A re-export certificate may be issued only if the specimen was imported in accordance with the Convention.
In the case of a live animal or plant, it must be prepared and shipped to minimize any risk of injury, damage to health or cruel treatment.
No import permit is needed unless required by national law.
In the case of specimens introduced from the sea, a certificate has to be issued by the Management Authority of the State into which the specimens are being brought, for species listed in Appendix I or II. For further information, see the text of the Convention, Article III, paragraph 5 and Article IV, paragraph 6.
What kind of "Insular" boas are you getting ? From who are you getting them ? I would really be surprised that you cant find the local directly in the states.....
Hope this helps,
Stav
