CITES Permit Exemptions - Summary

Remember the following points when determining whether an exemption applies:

  • Exemptions only apply to personal importations or exportations, not to commercial shipments.
  • Exemptions do not apply to live animals and plants.
  • Even if an exemption applies, it may be that your country has taken stricter domestic measures regarding personal and household goods. Therefore, carefully check your national legislation.
