Dear friends and customers,
Our company ‘Hengduan Mountains Biotechnolog Co. Ltd.’ has successfully got CITES permission for exporting Appendix I and II orchids since May 2010. After 7 years’ hard working and concentrating on development, we could pass Chinese authority’s strict assessment and become the first commercial producer that has license for exporting paphiopedilum, cypripedium and other orchids.
We would like to start our export soon. In the attachment file please find a pricelist for cypripedium. Please feel free to give this PDF file to anyone that might have interest in it. Please read the following information before anyone would like to place an order:
1,Order timing: We ask for the order confirmation as soon as possible. The latest is 20th October 2010. The reason is although we could get CITES permission, but the process here is rather long. It costs about 4 moths for getting export and import permission all together. Another reason is the cypripedium seedlings growing in our high mountain nursery need to be taken out before the soil gets frozen in October.
2, How to order: Please refer the PDF price list file, before you place an order. Please write to sales@hengduangbiotech.com or info@hengduanbiotech.com for confirming availability, price and postage cost.
3, How to pay: We receive your payment via money transference to our bank account in Europe or Paypal account.
4, How to deliver:
I, For customers who wishes to diver their good in Europe, we could manage to deliver your order in April 2010 after we confirm your payment. As we would take part in an orchid exhibition in April 2010 in Germany, we would bring your goods with us and send it from Germany, which means you would only pay the plant price as listed and postage from Germany. We would give you a CITES and Phyto document copy and receipt on your request.
II, For the customers in America, we would either through going for an exhibition or a distributor to deliver your goods.
III,,For the customer who wishes a certain delivery time or CITES and Phyto documents for him/herself, the costs would be the plant costs+ document costs +Postage. Please ask for details if you have a need.
The paphiopedilum list would come very soon. Other orchids price on request!
