Hi Jamie and Leslie,
Do zoos have a different type of permit system than "private citizens"?
I have an import lisence, have imported turtles (non-commercial, for
myself only), and have CITES papers for the species that require them.
Though an import permit is good for a year, the CITES papers are a
one-time thing that only applies to the specific animals imported under
it. There are no future implications, and the important first step is
that the exporting country issues the CITES export permit. Is it
different for zoos?
Thanks,
Melody
