Hello, A Filipino specimen shell dealers asks me to pay a 4 euros BFAR (Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources) export tax to ship me seashells. So far I have never heard about it and no other Filipino shell dealer seems to asks for it. Moreover it seems that this tax only concerns fish, shrimps etc. so has anybody ever hear about such a taxing for specimen shells in the Philippines?
