Greetings!
My husband and I are exploring a move to Panama. He is a custom-guitar builder and repairman with 30 years worth of valuable exotic hardwoods including rosewood, bubinga, mahagony. Because of CITES Treaty, which is to protect endangered species of trees, freely moving stock from country to country has become complicated. Can anyone point us to an authority who could tell us about any restrictions on importing his inventory? Thank you so much!
Hi Marian,
My apologies for the delay in replying. I would talk to Panama attorney Rainelda Mata-Kelly for advice (listed in the Rolodex section and below) and a shipping company may also be able to check with customs for you. If you don’t already have one, you could try one of these:
– A source many people have used to ship from the US and Canada to Panama is Rainier Mover. You can find them at http://www.rainieros.com/.
– Our previous Chiriqui Correspondent used these folks recently for her move from Chiriqui back to the US and was very happy (“they continue to be professional and responsive even after my stuff was shipped”)
