If you order plants from any other country, you'll have to worry
about having the proper CITES permits. All Nepenthes species (and
hybrids) are classed as either Appendix I or II CITES species. If they
classed as Appendix II, the person sending you the Nepenthes will require
a CITES export permit. Most of the larger nurseries will have these.
Good luck!
