Bob,



Well first off the person in EU must have documentation of the origin of their animals back from before export was shut down in OZ. Australia shut down export in 1969 if I remember correctly. There are alot of animals that are smuggled out of OZ into Europe all the time but the US will not allow them in because of their non verifiable origin.



On CITES appendix I animals. They can only be imported by a certified Zoological institution and can never be imported for resale. There are certain times when a documented Appendix I listed animal that is in the F-2 or higher generation can be imported by other than a zoo but a special arrangement will be made for this (it is very rare to happen). the same sort of thing is happening from Indo because of their Malagasy species of Chameleons. The breeders can not show proof of the origin of their breeders from before the shut down and the animals they received after the shut down are not allowed into the US because of CITES reccomendation of no importation of those species.
