species of wildlife are marked with the symbol ~

other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin,
rhinoceros horn, whalebone certain species of

the relevant customs laws and regulations before

other countries require a licence from the relevant
regulatory agencies in the countries of exportation
as well as importation. In some cases, the lot can
only be shipped with an independent scientific

need to obtain these at your own cost.
