Subject: Changes in Procedures for Applying for U.S.
CITES Certificates
Background: The U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service’s Division of Management Authority (DMA),
which is responsible for issuing U.S. CITES certificates,
has delegated the authority to issue certain CITES export
and re-export certificates to the Office of Law Enforcement.
To facilitate the protection of the world’s wildlife
and improve regulation of wildlife trade, DMA has revised
some of those delegations. As result, Service law enforcement
offices will no longer issue re-export certificates for
certain amphibian and reptile species.
Action: Effective immediately,
all 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.
