What is a CITES certificate?

A CITES certificate is required when importing items protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), an international agreement between governments. The purpose is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival.

If a shipper intends to ship goods made from specimens of wild animals and plants subject to CITES, a CITES form must be submitted, regardless of the value of the goods.

The general list of items subject to CITES regulation is as follows.
