Chun Lin (Exporter) - CA

Looking to sell some turtles to Chun Lin in CA. His email address contains "reptilesphere"

Anyone done business with him?

Yep! I have

Not specifically about any specific exporter, but I'm wondering how we can tell if an exporter is legitimate? A while back, I was asked by an exporter to ship to California... and the individual specified that I should not include an invoice in the package. This freaked me out, and I noticed that the shipping address was a beauty salon of some sort. I'm pretty sure that was not a legitimate export arrangement. But how can we be sure? Would, for example, Chun Lin have a license to export that could be shared?

yes anyone with a valid import/export license has a number and a physical permit in hand. i dont know if you can look it up by name you would have to call usfw. but the person should have no problem providing. i have always given mine to people who have asked. but just because someone asked you to ship to a beauty salon doesnt mean they were not an exporter. the invoice could be because they are fudging on the actual price on the export. if your turtles were CITES i would say they were not legit unless by chance they had a master file
