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. 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. A Traveling Exhibition Certificate (Resolution Conf.
12.3(Rev. CoP13)) applies only to an animal or non-living specimens that qualify as pre-Convention 1 or Bred
in Captivity 2 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/reexport 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 (preConvention 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 forms are located on our website.
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 form 3-200-37.
☐ Export: A one-time export of CITES-listed animals or non-living specimens.

1 Specimen

was acquired (removed from the wild or held in captivity or a controlled environment) before the date CITES applied to
it (CFR 23.45 b1).
2 Specimen was born/hatched from parents mated in captivity in the United States with reliable documentation to that effect. See
Appendix I.

☐ Re-export: A one-time export of animals or non-living specimens that were previously imported under a
CITES permit.
☐ 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 exports, re-exports and/or imports over a three-year period, but you would still be required
to obtain 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).
☐ 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.
☐ 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.
A fee is required for 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.
