Cites listed Animals

CITES listed Animals

CITES (theConvention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna & Flora, also could be known as Washington Convention)

CITES were formed in the 1960s when there was an important international discussion of the trading of Wildlife.

Cites listed Animals today

Today CITES protects more than 35,000 species of Animals and Plants.

If an animal is not CITES listed no CITES Permit is needed for that animal to travel, this does not mean that no Health certificate is needed from any Country of origin or destination.

It is always better to make sure if an animal is CITES listed or not before travelling, as if a mistake is made with a CITES listed animal the results can be catastrophic.

 Permits for Cites listed Animals

Permits for Cites listed Animals must be obtained by an authorized CITES approved authority before any CITES plant/animal may travel.

Please see the CITES website for more information on obtaining CITES  permits or any other CITES information.
