Illustration for Trade in Endangered Species Act 1989

The Director-General can give you a certificate to re-export an endangered species if you apply for one. You need to show that the species was imported correctly, either before or after this law started. If it was imported before the law, it must not have broken any other laws at the time. If it was imported after the law, it must have followed the rules of this law. You also need to show that the species will be prepared and shipped safely to minimise the risk of injury, bad health, or cruel treatment. The country where the species is being sent must also have given permission for it to be imported.
