CITES Regulations for Hermès Bags: Within the EU, "it has been established that all crocodile skins used by Hermès in the manufacture of its bags come from populations or species listed in Appendix II or, in the case of Appendix I, from farms registered with the CITES Secretariat (source code D). Consequently, vintage Hermès crocodile bags are exempt from requiring a CIC, either due to their Appendix B status or pursuant to Article 62.4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 865/2006 of May 4, 2006” (CITES Ministerial Statement of June 18, 2018, on the sale of vintage Hermès bags without a CIC). For export from the EU, a re-export certificate is required. An import permit may be required in the third-country of destination if that country’s national regulations so provide. The purchaser is responsible for obtaining these documents.
