Frequently asked questions: Regulation
Which permit comes first for an Appendix I falcon, import or export?
The import permit. Under Article III of CITES, the country of origin cannot issue the export permit until the import permit from the country of destination has been presented. Applying in the reverse order leads to a refusal and a restart from zero.
Is a hybrid falcon automatically an Appendix II specimen?
No. A hybrid with a single ancestor from an Appendix I species is treated as an Appendix I specimen. In the European Union, parentage is traced back four generations, so the hybridization formula alone is not enough to determine the applicable regime.
How long is a CITES export permit valid?
Six months from its date of issue. If the rest of the file takes longer, the permit expires and the application has to start over.
