Buyer beware!!!!!

INTERNET SALES​

BUYER BEWARE!!​

​

Over the past few months we have noticed a high level of illegal activity on the Internet regarding the sale of wildlife.

I therefore ask all permit holders to exercise judgment and due care when dealing with interstate customers in the purchase of fauna.

The NPW Regulations state that a person who intends importing a protected animal must at least 48 hours before importation give notice in writing stating:
(i) The species of the animal which is to be imported; and the name and address of the person who had possession of the animal, before importation and the name and address of the person who will have possession of the animal after importation, (ii) the manner of importation; and, (iii) the time and place of importation.

Please understand that (Ref: NP&W Act Section 60) the onus lies with the permit holder (yourself) to ensure the individual you are dealing with regarding importation has a permit to keep and sell in their state and most importantly has been provided an export permit (or movement advice) from the state they live in.

Please note: The approval of an Import Permit does not confirm that the stock from interstate is from legal tender. Therefore we suggest that you obtain a copy of the seller’s export or movement advice prior to the purchase as this will provide you with confirmation that the Fauna Licensing Unit (interstate) has approved the export.

If you have any information or concerns regarding the importation of wildlife, please contact the Manager, Fauna Permit Unit on ph 8124 4803.

Therefore we suggest that you obtain a copy of the seller’s export or movement advice prior to the purchase as this will provide you with confirmation that the Fauna Licensing Unit (interstate) has approved the export.

That will provide the buyer with no such assurance at all. In Queensland the EPA do not approve nor issue completed movement advices (akin to export permits) as is done in NSW. These documents, in QLD, are completed by the seller at their convenience and do not in any way provide buyers with an assurance that the supposed permit holder actually has the animals, or even the appropriate permit.

 

[Mrs I]

Maybe all the License holders in Qld need to lobby to have this changed via a petition or something.

We need to try stop people like this, i gather thats why this person said he was in Qld.
