No a CITES cert is not anything out of the ordinary. It would involve a legitimate licensed business going down to their local customs dept. or presenting the items and where they originated from. In some instances, depending on the status of the species they must state whether the species is grown from seed or not and where the seed came from. When I imported from Thailand a couple years back it was just a matter of paying a fee to the seller and he got the CITES and Phyto-san. That order was much larger and I did have to acquire a permit in that instance. I do not need an import permit for the quantity that was ordering this time.
I ordered 4 plants the hard to find one in my eyes was Cycnoches peruviana, the rest I ordered because they were interesting and not in my collection nothing particularly rare.
