CITES (Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora)

A limited number of the HPA/ECACC cell lines are derived from species covered by CITES (e.g. Cos-7, Vero and PMK cells). Depending on the classification of the species, a CITES export permit or both export and import permits may be required. CellBank Australia does stock a limited number of CITES listed cell lines from the ECACC general cell collection with approved importation permits.
Should your order contain cell lines that required an export permit, CellBank Australia will invoice a fee per permit to help offset the permit and processing costs. This will be detailed in your delivery charges.

For further information and to confirm whether a permit is required, visit the CITES homepage where your country contact is listed.
