Australian Meteorites]
Hello, Everyone,
every Australian Meteorite is subject
to a permit, if you take or send the meteorite, even for a limited time
(display or so), out of this great country of ours.
However, for most of
the wider distributed with a minor scientific value some ouf our museums issue
us a permit, for the others trade only within Australia is
permitted.
These permits are required as part of the UNESCO Movable
Cultural Heritage Act and is not only applicable for Australia.
Ebay is
giving you some information about questionable items at this URL: http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-items.html
and
in particular here: http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_reg/pomchr502/sch1.html
I
suggest to check if your country has signed the UNESCO Act and to make
yourself too familiar with, what you are allowed to export.
Best
regards from DOWN-UNDER,

BTW:
Export restricted meteorites in my website are displayed in Australian
Dollars compared with the ones with permit in U.S.
Dollars.

Hello Everyone,
Is it illegal to export Australian
meteorites? I thought they could be exported with the proper
permits.
