Cranfield Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 NTTF, you may have trouble getting these items from the UK to Canada, either by post, or in your personal luggage. There are severe restrictions in moving animal matter, including bones, between countries, to avoid the spread of disease. You may need a specific licence for this purpose, it would be worth enquiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Cranfield, I have my local FED working on that end of it While TRix works on permits I am looking to see if there is any out there to be had. You are correct though certain items require export/import permits while others require cities permits and some are restricted. Thanks for the Heads up NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
