Where a Management Authority of the State of export or re-export is satisfied that a specimen was acquired before the provisions of the present Convention applied to that specimen, the provisions of Articles III, IV and V shall not apply to that specimen where the Management Authority issues a certificate to that effect.3. The provisions of Articles III, IV and V shall not apply to specimens that are personal or household effects. This exemption shall not apply where:
(a)in the case of specimens of a species included in Appendix I, they were acquired by the owner outside his State of usual residence, and are being imported into that State; or
(b)in the case of specimens of species included in Appendix II:
(i)they were acquired by the owner outside his State of usual residence and in a State where removal from the wild occurred;
(ii)they are being imported into the owner’s State of usual residence; and
(iii)the State where removal from the wild occurred requires the prior grant of export permits before any export of such specimens; unless a Management Authority is satisfied that the specimens were acquired before the provisions of the present Convention applied to such specimens.

4. Specimens of an animal species included in Appendix I bred in captivity for commercial purposes, or of a plant species included in Appendix I artificially propagated for commercial purposes, shall be deemed to be specimens of species included in Appendix II.5. Where a Management Authority of the State of export is satisfied that any specimen of an animal species was bred in captivity or any specimen of a plant species was artificially propagated, or is a part of such an animal or plant or was derived there from, a certificate by that Management Authority to that effect shall be accepted in lieu of any of the permits or certificates required under the provisions of Article III, IV or V. VII6 VII6[The word “therefrom” should be written as one word. The numerals “VIII6 VIII6” do not appear in the official version of the Convention.)6. The provisions of Articles III, IV and V shall not apply to the non- commercial loan, donation or exchange between scientists or scientific institutions registered by a Management Authority of their State, of herbarium specimens, other preserved, dried or embedded museum specimens, and live plant materials which carry a label issued or approved by a Management Authority.[The term “live plant material” is singular in the official text of the Convention.]7. A Management Authority of any State may waive the requirements of Articles III, IV and V and allow the movement without permits or certificates of specimens which form part of a travelling zoo, circus, menagerie, plant exhibition or other travelling exhibition provided that:

(a)the exporter or importer registers full details of such specimens with that Management Authority;
(b)the specimens are in either of the categories specified in paragraph 2 or 5 of this Article; and
(c)the Management Authority is satisfied that any living specimen will be so transported and cared for as to minimize the risk of injury, damage to health or cruel treatment.


Article VIII – Measures to Be Taken by the Parties

1. The Parties shall take appropriate measures to enforce the provisions of the present Convention and to prohibit trade in specimens in violation thereof. These shall include measures:
(a)to penalize trade in, or possession of, such specimens, or both; and
(b)to provide for the confiscation or return to the State of export of such specimens.

2. In addition to the measures taken under paragraph 1 of this Article, a Party may, when it deems it necessary, provide for any method of internal reimbursement for expenses incurred as a result of the confiscation of a specimen traded in violation of the measures taken in the application of the provisions of the present Convention.3. As far as possible, the Parties shall ensure that specimens shall pass through any formalities required for trade with a minimum of delay. To facilitate such passage, a Party may designate ports of exit and ports of entry at which specimens must be presented for clearance. The Parties shall ensure further that all living specimens, during any period of transit, holding or shipment, are properly cared for so as to minimize the risk of injury, damage to health or cruel treatment.4. Where a living specimen is confiscated as a result of measures referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article:

(a)the specimen shall be entrusted to a Management Authority of the State of confiscation;
(b)the Management Authority shall, after consultation with the State of export, return the specimen to that State at the expense of that State, or to a rescue centre or such other place as the Management Authority deems appropriate and consistent with the purposes of the present Convention; and
(c)the Management Authority may obtain the advice of a Scientific Authority, or may, whenever it considers it desirable, consult the Secretariat in order to facilitate the decision under sub-paragraph (b) of this paragraph, including the choice of a rescue centre or other place.

[The word “subparagraph” in paragraph (c) appears without a hyphen in the official text of the Convention]5. A rescue centre as referred to in paragraph 4 of this Article means an institution designated by a Management Authority to look after the welfare of living specimens, particularly those that have been confiscated. VIII6 VIII6[The numerals “VIII6 VIII6” do not appear in the official version of the Convention.]6. Each Party shall maintain records of trade in specimens of species included in Appendices I, II and III which shall cover:

(a)the names and addresses of exporters and importers; and

(a)an annual report containing a summary of the information specified in subparagraph (b) of paragraph 6 of this Article; and[The word “subparagraph” in paragraph (a) appears without a hyphen in the official text of the Convention, as in the Government Gazette, even though this is inconsistent with other usages of the term in the official text.]
(b)a biennial report on legislative, regulatory and administrative measures taken to enforce the provisions of the present Convention.

8. The information referred to in paragraph 7 of this Article shall be available to the public where this is not inconsistent with the law of the Party concerned.

Article IX – Management and Scientific Authorities

1. Each Party shall designate for the purposes of the present Convention:
(a)one or more Management Authorities competent to grant permits or certificates on behalf of that Party; and
(b)one or more Scientific Authorities.

2. A State depositing an instrument of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession shall at that time inform the Depositary Government of the name and address of the Management Authority authorized to communicate with other Parties and with the Secretariat.3. Any changes in the designations or authorizations under the provisions of this Article shall be communicated by the Party concerned to the Secretariat for transmission to all other Parties.4. Any Management Authority referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article shall, if so requested by the Secretariat or the Management Authority of another Party, communicate to it impression of stamps, seals or other devices used to authenticate permits or certificates.

Article X – Trade with States not Party to the Convention

The provisions of the present Convention shall in no way affect the provisions of, or the obligations deriving from, any treaty, convention or international agreement concluded or which may be concluded between States creating a union or regional trade agreement establishing or maintaining a common external Customs control and removing Customs control between the parties thereto insofar as they relate to trade among the States members of that union or agreement.4. A State party to the present Convention, which is also a party to any other treaty, convention or international agreement which is in force at the time of the coming into force of the present Convention and under the provisions of which protection is afforded to marine species included in Appendix II, shall be relieved of the obligations imposed on it under the provisions of the present Convention with respect to trade in specimens of species included in Appendix II that are taken by ships registered in that State and in accordance with the provisions of such other treaty, convention or international agreement.5. Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles III, IV and V, any export of a specimen taken in accordance with paragraph 4 of this Article shall only require a certificate from a Management Authority of the State of introduction to the effect that the specimen was taken in accordance with the provisions of the other treaty, convention or international agreement in question.6. Nothing in the present Convention shall prejudice the codification and development of the law of the sea by the United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea convened pursuant to Resolution 2750 C (XXV) of the General Assembly of the United Nations nor the present or future claims and legal views of any State concerning the law of the sea and the nature and extent of coastal and flag State jurisdiction.

Schedule 3 (Section 1)

Appendices to Convention

[Schedule 3 is substituted by GN 94/2017 and GN 122/2020.][Note that the Appendices to CITES can be, and regularly are, amended by "the Conference of the Parties" under Articles XV and XVI of the Convention, and the amendments enter into force automatically for all parties.][However, section 11(1) of this Act states: “Whenever Appendices I, II or III is amended [sic], the Minister must by notice in the Gazette amend Schedule 3 accordingly.” In addition, section 1(3)(c) of this Act states: “Any provision of this Act is construed with reference to the Convention and any provision of the Convention is deemed to ORCHIDACEAE be part of this Act and for that purpose … (c) a species is deemed to be included in an Appendix only if it appears in the relevant column of Schedule 3 and also subject to such further qualifications as set out in the relevant entry or such further notes as may appear in that Schedule.”][The version of the Appendices on the CITES website <www.cites.org/eng/app/appendices.php&gt; is updated regularly to include the latest amendments to the CITES Appendices in a convenient table format, which differs from the original text of the Convention and its amendments. The table format from the CITES website has been copied in the Government Gazette and is is presented below as it appears in the Government Gazette.]

Interpretations


1.Species included in these Appendices are referred to:
(a)by the name of the species; or
(b)as being all of the species included in a higher taxon or designated part thereof.
2.The abbreviation “spp.” is used to denote all species of a higher taxon.
3.Other references to taxa higher than species are for the purposes of information or classification only. The common names included after the scientific names of families are for reference only. They are intended to indicate the species within the family concerned that are included in the Appendices. In most cases this is not all of the species within the family.
4.The following abbreviations are used for plant taxa below the level of species:
(a)“ssp.” is used to denote subspecies; and
(b)“var(s).” is used to denote variety (varieties).
5.As none of the species or higher taxa of FLORA included in Appendix I is annotated to the effect that its hybrids shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of Article III of the Convention, this means that artificially propagated hybrids produced from one or more of these species or taxa may be traded with a certificate of artificial propagation, and that seeds and pollen (including pollinia), cut flowers, seedling or tissue cultures obtained in vitro, in solid or liquid media, transported in sterile containers of these hybrids are not subject to the provisions of the Convention.
6.The names of the countries in parentheses placed against the names of species in Appendix III are those of the Parties submitting these species for inclusion in this Appendix.
7.When a species is included in one of the Appendices, all parts and derivatives of the species are also included in the same Appendix unless the species is annotated to indicate that only specific parts and derivatives are included. The symbol # followed by a number placed against the name of a species or higher taxon included in Appendix II or III refers to a footnote that indicates the parts or derivatives of plants that are designated as ‘specimens’ subject to the provisions of the Convention in accordance with Article I, paragraph (b), subparagraph (iii).
8.The terms and expressions below, used in annotations in these Appendices, are defined as follows:ExtractAny substance obtained directly from plant material by physical or chemical means regardless of the manufacturing process. An extract may be solid (e.g. crystals, resin, fine or coarse particles), semi-solid (e.g. gums, waxes) or liquid (e.g. solutions, tinctures, oil and essential oils).Finished products packaged and ready for retail tradeProducts, shipped singly or in bulk, requiring no further processing, packaged, labelled for final use or the retail trade in a state fit for being sold to or used by the general public.PowderA dry, solid substance in the form of fine or coarse particles.WoodchipsWood that has been reduced to small pieces.
