Taxacom: Vanuatu export permits

[Frank T. Krell]

Hi John,
Exaggerated fees are really frustrating. I am preparing a paper on regulations etc. affecting taxonomy/biodiversity research. Do you have a citable source for this fee? Or an official invoice or something that you could send me privately. I just have to make sure that statements and examples are backed up, otherwise I would shoot myself in the foot.
Thanks

Frank

No wonder there is a problem with biodiversity documentation and taxonomy.
If one wanted to send out even one specimen from Vanuatu it costs US $1,500 for an export permit. Probably fine for major institutions, but a trainwreck for anyone else. Quite frustrating.
