Abstract

This Part of Title 50 lays down regulations for the implementation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), in order to regulate international trade in wildlife and plants, including parts, products, and derivatives, and to prevent illegal trafficking for the survival of species in the wild. Parties to CITES regulate the import, introduction from the sea, export, or re-export across jurisdictional or international boundaries for any purpose whether commercial or noncommercial, in specimens of Appendix-I, -II, and -III species and their parts, products, and derivatives through a system of permits and certificates (CITES documents).
