international transport of shells and possible sale of collection
Hello,

My grandmother (born 1900) collected seashells around the world and I am left with the responsibility of disposing of them. There are 10 boxes including some, apparently, rare shells. I am considering keeping some and taking them to a beach property that I have purchased in Kenya. As an elephant conservationist I am well aware of CITES and I do not want to contravene the law, but I have very little knowledge of Mollusca taxonomy. I checked out the link you provided which is just to a CITES list of all species. Do you have a list of those Mollusks listed on Appendix I or those for which I would require an export/import certificate?

Since I have found your website - are there people who might be interested in this collection?

Thank you,

Joyce

Since countries handle CITES differently you would want to contact the appropriate department of the Kenyan Government for import answers.

Where is the collection located?
