E. EXPORT OF ARTIFICIALLY PROPAGATED PLANTS (Multiple Commercial Shipments)
The information in this application is used to determine whether your plant specimens (i.e., species, hybrids, cultivars)
meet the criteria of artificial propagation as defined by CITES Resolution Conf. 11.11 (Rev. CoP13; www.cites.org/).
This application may be used to:
Establish a Master File (processing fee = $200): If approved for export, a Master File and an approved plant list,
valid for up to three years, will be created from the information you provide. Once the Master File is approved, you
must obtain single-use Certificates of Artificially Propagated Plants (CAPPs; processing fee of $5/certificate), valid
for 6 months, to export artificially propagated specimens of the approved species, hybrids, and cultivars. CAPPs must
be obtained prior to making any shipment and must accompany the shipment. Additional single-use CAPPS may be
requested by submitting form 3-200-74 (http://www.fws.gov/forms/).
Amend a current Master File (processing fee = $100): This form must be used to amend a current master file. A
master file must be amended when there have been changes to the information provided for a current master file (e.g.,
addition and/or deletions of species/hybrids/cultivars, source of plant material).
Renew a Master File (processing fee = $100): To renew a master file that has or will soon expire, you must
complete this entire application. Provide information on any changes to your facility, operations, or species that you
wish to export (e.g., plants propagated, sources of plant material). We require a complete inventory of the plants or
plant material that you expect to export under the permit, including both previously approved plants as well as new
plants (indicate any plants that are new on your inventory list).
I would like to:
 Establish a new Master File ($200 fee)
 Amend an existing Master File; PRT #___________ ($100 fee)
 Renew a Master File; PRT #___________ ($100 fee)
Indicate the number of single-use CAPPS you anticipate using in the next 6 months: ____ (fee - $5/certificate)
This form should NOT be used to re-export plant specimens. For shipments of plants that were previously imported
with a CITES document, complete application form, 3-200-32. These plants cannot be shipped under a CAPP.
Specimens that are determine not to meet the criteria of artificial propagation as defined by CITES Res. Conf. 11.11 (Rev.
CoP13) might qualify for a single-use export. You must submit Form 3-200-32 (www.fws.gov/forms) to request
authorization to export such specimens.
Review this application carefully and provide complete answers to all of the questions. If a question is not
applicable, answer with “N.A.” If more space is needed for any of the tables in this document, photocopy the table as
needed, or download it at: http://www.fws.gov/forms/. Number all pages in the bottom right corner.
This application is divided into 4 parts.
• To export ONLY interspecific and intergeneric hybrids of Appendix II CATTLEYA, CYMBIDIUM,
DENDROBIUM (phalaenopsis and nobile types only), ONCIDIUM, PHALAENOPSIS, and/or VANDA,
complete Parts I, IV and V only.
• To export specimens other than above-mentioned orchid hybrids, complete Parts II, III, IV, and V.
• To export specimens in addition to the above-mentioned orchid hybrids, complete the entire form.
Electronic submission of inventories, photographs, and receipts: Some applications contain long inventories
and/or a large number of photographs or receipts. You may provide electronic versions of these documents.
Such a submission may assist to expedite the processing of your application since it will eliminate the need for
data entry by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. You may include a disk containing your information or, if
applicable, please check the following:
 I would like you to contact me at the e-mail address above in order to get an electronic inventory.

ALL APPLICANTS COMPLETE SECTION D:
Section D.1 Application processing fee:
•
An application processing fee is required at the time of application; unless exempted under 50 CFR13.11(d)(3). The application

will not be refunded for applications that are approved, abandoned, or denied. We may return fees for withdrawn applications prior
to any significant processing occurring.
•
Documentation of fee exempt status is not required for Federal, tribal, State, or local government agencies; but must be supplied

re-read the application and your answers before signing.
