Taxidermy → Thailand

Taxidermy restricted; documentation or permits may apply

Details

Taxidermied specimens of CITES-listed species require both export permits from the source country and import permits from the destination country. CITES Appendix I species (tigers, leopards, bears, etc.) are commercially prohibited. Appendix II species (lions, hippos, many raptors) require permits.

Documentation required

• Check destination requirements

Leaving with this item

Taxidermy export from Thailand depends on the species — CITES-listed specimens need export permits; common non-protected species need provenance paperwork.

Practical advice

Thailand restricts import of Taxidermy. Cultural-property protection is bilateral: both origin export rules and destination import rules apply. Carry provenance documentation demonstrating lawful acquisition and (where applicable) origin-country export licence. Museum-loan and dealer-import categories operate under separate frameworks with pre-approved dealer registration.
