percentage) endangered and other protected
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
