Mentore3 years agoThe species of wild felines (ocelot) are considered at highest risk of extinction and therefore included in Annex A of EC Regulation No. 338 of 1997 implementing the Washington Convention (Cites) and, except for specific exceptions, their sale is consequently prohibited.
So, if you are part of the "specific exceptions" you need to askthe authorities responsible for control; in Italy these are the CFS (State Forestry Corps), customs offices, and police forces.
Also remember if you are not in compliance, the sale and possession of specimens protected by this convention, their parts (e.g. ivory, bones, skins or pelts etc.) or products obtained from them is an international crime punishable in all states signatory to the Convention.
Kind regards.
