Specimen:

CITES uses the term specimen to designate:

• the whole animal or plant, dead or alive; or
• any part or derivative thereof.

A part is an incomplete specimen that has not been processed and can in most cases still be recognized as belonging to a particular animal or plant species.

Examples of parts:
skin or part of a skin skeleton or bone shell, carapace horn, tusk, antler or tooth feather, egg meat wood flower, seed, root, bulb

A derivative is a processed part of a plant or an animal that can not easily be recognized as belonging to a particular species.
