Ministerial editorial dated June 18, 2018, website of the Ministry of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity, Forests, the Sea, and Fisheries—Vintage Hermès Bags—Sale without CIC. 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 the CIC, either due to their Appendix B status or under Article 62.4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 865/2006 of May 4, 2006.
