I am located in Malaysia. I am looking at black burmese mountain tortoise and got super interested in it, I want it so badly, but I can't seem to find a seller that sells them, because it is somewhat a species that Malaysia have, I am worried that I might get a wild caught tortoise instead. So I believe the better way is to purchase it from other country. Does anyone know whats the procedure for importing tortoise worldwide or internationally? Will there be a license so the tortoise is legal in my country?

I have no experience whatsoever at importing tortoise into my country, do I need a 3rd party service like : https://www.petrelocation.com/ or the seller will do it for me? If yes can anyone recommend me any good sellers here? I seriously trust people here more than any other facebook group seller in my country.

Sorry, I can't help. Try talking to different shipping companies, like shipyourreptiles.com, or reptiles2you.com
