Hello.

I hope someone can assist me here.

What procedures do I have to follow in regards to moving my 3 tarantulas overseas ( Holland )?

Which would be the relevant authorities to go through and so on?

I have no idea where to start.

Wow. Those are some tough questions. And a tough move.

I don't think it will be possible as natcon does not allow any exportation of tarantulas. But I could be wrong.

I guess the best place to start is to google nature conservation's telephone number for your province and then be prepared for a MASSIVE telephone call.

You must really love your fuzzy buddies.

Also. Don't forget to give Holland a call to hear what you have to do on that end

Exporting exotics is legal so I would double check the laws of the country you going to.

Cool. I thought that any export of any tarantula was not allowed. You learn something new every day. Lol.

I don't think you may keep exotic pets in Holland and to be honest with you and straight forward, it not worth the time and effort for you to export your spiders.
(Just from what I'm reading and what I know from imports one would have to Aquitaine your spiders.)

But if you really want to, you need to contact Natcon for and export permit and then you have to contact Netherlands to clear if you may import your tarantulas into Holland.

Some info I found on Google, scroll to the bottom of the page to international.
Ordinances Regulating Private Possession of Exotic Animals

Holland
It is illegal to keep exotic animals as "pets."


I have spent a couple of hours goggling and reading through pages of information and have not gotten much more info than the above bit.
Here is another story, ok, they tried to illegal bring them in Dutch customs find hundreds of tarantulas

I think you need to contact the Embassy and talk to someone there.
