The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change is advising that a permit is needed to take a whales tooth (tabua) out of Fiji or bring one into Fiji.
The Ministry states citizens are to fill a Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) Permit.
This permit can only be obtained from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change offices.
A fine of $10,000 is liable on citizens who don’t fill the form.
