E. Export/Re-export/Reimport of Circuses, Traveling Animal Exhibitions, or Museum Exhibitions (and Reissuance) (CITES/ESA)

Purpose

This application covers a wide range of CITES and/or ESA-listed animals, whether live or dead. To determine whether the species is regulated under CITES, when the species was listed, and whether exemptions apply to your requested activity and would then not require a CITES permit, see www.speciesplus.net. To determine whether the species is regulated under the ESA, when the species was listed, and whether exemptions apply to your requested activity and would not need ESA authorization, see https://ecos.fws.gov/ecp0/pub/SpeciesReport.do?lead=10&listingType=L. A Traveling Exhibition Certificate (Resolution Conf. 12.3(Rev. CoP13)) applies only to an animal or non-living specimens that qualify as pre-Convention¹ or Bred in Captivity² as defined in Resolution Conf. 10.16 (Rev.). A CITES certificate may be issued up to 3 years for a single animal or a group of (non-living) specimens. For animals or non-living specimens that do not qualify for a Traveling Exhibition Certificate, a Master File can be established that is valid for up to three years for one or more animals or specimens. A Master File would authorize a number of (re-)exports and/or imports over a three-year period, but you would still be required to obtained CITES re-export documents for the re-exporting country before returning to the United States. Once a Master File is approved, you must obtain single-use permits, valid for 6 months or until the expiration of the Master File, whichever is sooner, for each export/re-export or import (50 CFR 13.11).

Use this application form for exports/re-exports and re-import for:

Temporary travel (export and re-import) to exhibit animals, museum exhibitions, or other traveling exhibitions where specimens do not change ownership (e.g., not being bought or sold while outside the United States).

This form should NOT be used for:

• Transferring ownership or offer specimens for sale outside the United States, submit form 3-200-23 (pre-Convention specimens) or 3-200-37 (ESA/CITES specimens)

• Traveling with musical instruments, submit form 3-200-88 (Musical Instrument Certificate)

• Activities involving live marine mammals, use form 3-200-53 (Export /Re-Export of Live Captive Held Marine Mammals (CITES))

All applications can be found at http://www.fws.gov/international/permits/by-form-number/index.html.

If you are applying on behalf of a client, provide documentation such as a Power of Attorney authorizing you to act on behalf of the client.

Permit Types and Processing Fees

Please review the complete application before beginning.

Single-use Permit: A single-use permit is valid for six months from the date of issuance. For re-issuance or amendment of a single-use permit, the original permit must be returned with this completed application form. You may apply for a single-use permit for multiple animals or non-living specimens that is valid for a single export or re-export. If you are making a single import, please use from 3-200-37.

$100 for export: A one-time export of CITES-listed animals or non-living specimens.

$100 for re-export: A one-time export of animals or non-living specimens that were previously imported under a CITES permit.

$75 for pre-Convention specimens: A one-time export of animals or non-living specimens that were obtained before the species was listed under CITES. NOTE: No CITES import permit is required for an Appendix-I specimen that qualifies as pre-Convention.

Master File: This application form allows you set up a Master File, valid for up to 3 years and is renewable, for exports or re-exports of one or more animals or non-living specimens. Once the Master File is approved, it authorizes a number of

(re-)exports and/or imports over a three-year period, but you would still be required to obtained CITES re-export documents for the re-exporting country before returning to the United States. You must also obtain partially completed permits, valid for 6 months, for each export/re-export or import (50 CFR 13.11).

$200 to establish a new Master File

$100 to amend an established Master File: Allows you to amend a currently valid Master File. You must complete the relevant sections within the application (3-200-52 may not be used to amend or renew this Master File), providing information on any changes to the quantity, your facility, operations, or species for the animals or non-living specimens that you wish to export.

$100 to reissue, or amend and reissue an established Master File: Allows you to renew your Master File that has or will soon expire. You must complete relevant sections within the application (3-200-52 may not be used to amend or reissue this Master File), including providing information on any changes to the quantity, your facility, operations, or species for the animals or non-living specimens that you wish to export.

AND

$5 each for required partially completed permits to accompany each shipment under a Master File: Once the Master File is approved, you must also obtain partially-completed permits to accompany each export (50 CFR 13.11). The partially-completed permits will be valid for six months and can be requested using this form when establishing or renewing a Master File. For future shipments, additional permits may be requested using FWS Form 3-200-74 [https://www.fws.gov/forms/3-200-74.pdf].
