If your buyer or customer is anywhere within the Eueopean Community, they will abide by these laws. Know your laws as an exporter and don't send stuff that's illegal, even if the buyer begs.

Wolf is OK as of '06 so long as it's not from Russia or the lower 48 USA states. Canadian and Alaskan wolves are ok. Import and export permits are required. The buyer gets the import permit before the sale or it won't fly.
