The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) governs global transport and sales of endangered botanical assets. Collection Maximums requires all listing members to strictly present active valid import permit papers, phytosanitary certificates, and nursery seed origin receipts prior to database registry.
Horticultural assets are subject to strict regional agricultural quarantines, pest inspections, and pathogen isolation procedures. Registered assets cannot be shipped across continent borders without certified laboratory clearance (such as official European Union EPPO plant passport tags or US USDA agricultural permits).
Collection Maximums explicitly rejects any legal responsibility for customs seizures, plant transport decay, or state penalties incurred when members transfer registered physical specimens. Verification and legal safety remains the sole responsibility of the selling and purchasing parties.
