Following rules on CITES Animals

All CITES Shipments now are required to have block 14 of the Export CITES permit completed with export endorsement after May 1, 2008 or the CITES animals will either be refused entry and re-exported back to origin at shippers expense or destroyed.

CITES I and II animals only permitted entry into U.S. if the animals were sport hunted by the actual importer of record. No shipments permitted entry if acquisition was in commercial trade and animal is listed as Threatened (Red T) in the ESA column.

All CITES I animals require a U.S. Import Permit and copy should be requested by the overseas agent before they start the export documentation process.

(In the U.S. Bontebok is considered a CITES I animal)

CITES III animals must be listed on a CITES Export Permit.

Birds - make sure they don't require Migratory Bird Permits.
