rich1984 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 While clearing out a cupboard at work my dad has found a few fur items, im just enquiring as to the legality of owning / selling these ? If they are ok to sell i will list in the sales section as they maybe of interest to some on the forum They are- Raccoon, wolf,korsac fox, red fox All appear to have serial numbers if that makes a difference Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 eBay is probably a better bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 If the pelts are old if they have not been kept properly they do tend to molt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich1984 Posted June 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Ill take a look on the list, they are in very fine condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehb102 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I have seen all those on sale on eBay UK in the last year. Are they pelts or garments? I love a bit of vintage fur but sadly the clothes don't often come large :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 You can sell any on the cites list within the EU zone, we move a lot of ivory and tortoiseshell etc which both need it if exported outside Europe but within you can sell freely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodeer Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'm literally sat in an airport having checked in a suitcase with various skins and furs in. Only the Leopard I'm carrying requires an A10 Cities paper. Best bet is email cities but don't expect a quick reply and if you hassle them they seem to take longer. Otherwise there's a few Fur dealers and you could get their offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Bet that raises some eyebrows at Heathrow Sam! The other thing is usually you will need two permits if outside the EU export from the U.K. Which has to be stamped by customs and then an import at the other end. Basically just don't bother is the best advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotslad Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Does the age of the fur matter?? Last year or year before was some taxidermy for slae in local paper including a few BoP's, pretty cheap althou no idea how good they were, not overly strainght forward but from wot i could gather if pre 74? u can sell them no prob's if after the date u need paperwork/ or a letter from the vet if recently found dead. Even the hobby taxidermist hadn't a clue and said it was ok to buy them, ended up not just incase the FEO started asking questions at my next renewal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
