C.I.T.I.E.S.
Antique items made from or containing material from endangered species (e.g. ivory, whalebone, rhinoceros horn etc) are covered by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (C.I.T.I.E.S.). Such items can only be shipped outside the E.U. when accompanied by a valid C.I.T.I.E.S. certificate. We are happy to apply for and pay for this certificate which normally takes between 7 and 14 days to be granted.
