Yes, all I seem to read about obtaining foreign permits is either "its impossible" or "its easy". I know that I can look up the offices for some countries on the US CITES website, but how does a private collector go about actually getting the permits? I'm sure there is much paperwork to fill out, but what reasoning is going to flag you for denial, do you need affiliation with a university in every case, what are some specifics?

Hello,I´m from Spain and this year I have demand 3 licenses for collecting Lepidoptera in 3 spanish regions,first of all you have to be inscribed in a entomological society that makes the procedure(I have to pay 20 euros on that) you have to allow 45 days for they make the study of the permit and the approbation of it and finally when you have the permits you have to follow very,very,very stupids conditions

Thank you miguel, can you tell us more about conditions.
I heard a quota of specimens is included and that you must make a full report of what you have caught to authorities + you cannot collect some protected specimens.
It does't look stupid to me, but maybe there are other conditions.

FOR EXAMPLE,the QUANTITY of specimens vary from 3 to 5,it depends of the region,you can not collect species that makes a very long time that have not been citaded,you have to return the specimens that you have collected when the season ends¡¡¡ there is 1 region that from around 142 butterflies species is forbidden to collect 42.
P.D Sorry for my english

And yes,you have to send the list of the butteflies and moths that you have collected last year,my association uses this list to make a checklist of butterflies from Spain(if you don´t send the list they don´t make your permits for another year.
Miguel.

I'm sure there is much paperwork to fill out, but what reasoning is going to flag you for denial, do you need affiliation with a university in every case, what are some specifics? Each country has it's own criteria for granting or denying CITES, but the basic framework is laid out in the wording of the CITES treaty. You can contact the Management Authority in whichever country you want to export from. You shouldn't need to be affiliated with an educational or professional organization unless you are trying to export a CITES I species. From my point of view, some countries make it easier than others by having websites in English. Germany is a good example of that. In the US, the CITES criteria are laid out in the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 23. If you have specific questions about specific countries, you can post them. However, sometimes as a private collector, you might best be served by hiring a professional broker to obtain the licenses and permits and engage a shipper for you. It always comes down whether the associated cost makes it worth your while. As you can see in previous posts, it can harder to get a collecting permit than it is to get a CITES permit to export. |
