I'd have thought the CITES article 10 would be in the sellers name, not yours. If they are hatchling tortoises, they will be on Single Transaction Certificates and the sellers name must be in box 1, not the receivers. If they are over 10cm's coming in on a specimen specific certificate be very careful. If these are coming from Germany, until recently they allowed photography in place of microchipping, this has now been reneged as a means of identifying a tortoise by EU CITES and you will have fun and games with UK CITES trying to switch them over to your name if you decide to register them (for selling offspring or reselling).
