Subject:
Updated Procedures for Applying for U.S. CITES
Documents
Background: On
June 30, 2004,the Service posted a public
bulletin announcing changes in the office responsible
for issuing certain CITES re-export certificates. After
a review of those changes, the Service’s Division
of Management Authority (DMA) has re-delegated issuance
of certain CITES re-export certificates back to Law Enforcement.
Applications for re-export of the following species may
now be submitted to Law Enforcement: Kinixys belliana, Leiopython
albertisii, Liasis fuscus, Morelia viridis, Varanus
doreanus, Varanus finschi, Varanus
panoptes, and Varanus similis. Applications
for the remaining species or genera identified in the
June 30, 2004 public bulletin (outlined below) must still
be submitted to DMA for processing.
Action: Effective
immediately, applications for re-export certificates
for the CITES species or genera listed below must be
submitted to DMA along with the appropriate application
fee. This requirement applies to all exporters (including
hobbyists and pet owners as well as those engaged in
commercial trade) and to all specimens regardless of
their country of origin or whether they are identified
as wild, ranched, or captive-bred.
