E. ESTABLISHMENT OF A MASTER FILE FOR THE EXPORT OF LIVE ANIMALS BRED IN CAPTIVITY IN
THE UNITED STATES (CITES)
This application allows you set up a Master File for exports of live animals bred in captivity under
CITES. The Master File is valid for three years and is renewable. Once the Master File is approved
you must obtain single-use permits, valid for 6 months, for each export (50 CFR 13.11).
Note 1: Species that are listed on pages 5 and 6 of this application are currently eligible for inclusion
in a master file. This list contains species where it has been determined that specimens were born or
hatched from parents mated in captivity in the United States qualify as Bred-in-Captivity in
accordance with CITES Resolution Conf. 10.16 (Rev.) and are therefore eligible for issuance of
certificates under the provisions of CITES Article VII, paragraph 5. If a species you are interested in
including on a master file is not listed, you may either submit application form 3-200-24 or complete
questions 6 through 10 of this application to request that specimens produced at your facility be
considered Bred-in-Captivity. If it is determined that your specimens do not meet the criteria under
Resolution Conf. 10.16 (Rev.), you may still be eligible to obtain individual export permits for the
specimens.
Note 2: We may not be able to issue CITES documents for the commercial export of Appendix-I
specimens, unless the specimens were produced at a commercial breeding operation that is
registered with CITES Secretariat. For more information on registering commercial breeding
operation for Appendix-I wildlife, contact the Division of Management Authority at
[email protected].
Electronic submission of inventories, photographs, and receipts/invoices: If you wish to provide information
electronically, please include a flash drive containing your information with your physical application.
This application can be used to:
____ ESTABLISH A NEW MASTER FILE
This application allows you set up a Master File, valid for one year and renewable, for exports of
live animals bred in captivity in the United States under CITES. Once the Master File is approved,
you will need to obtain single-use permits, valid for 6 months, for each export (50 CFR 13.11)
____RENEW AND/OR AMEND AN EXISTING MASTER FILE, # _________
For either the establishment of a new registration or renewal/amendment of an existing
registration, please Indicate the number of single-use permits you anticipate using in the next 6
months _____________ (Provide $5 for each 6-month permit.) Additional permits may be
requested by submitting form 3-200-74.
Please respond to each of the following questions and provide all information requested. Mark items
that are not applicable with “N/A”. If needed, use separate sheets of paper. Please indicate the
question/item number you are addressing on all attachments or separate sheets you submit. If you
are applying for multiple species, be sure to indicate which species you are addressing in each
response.
