Illustration for Trade in Endangered Species Act 1989

The Director-General can give you a certificate to re-export a threatened species if you apply for one. They will talk to other important people and scientists first. These people must be satisfied that the species was imported correctly, either before or after this law started. You must show that the species will be prepared and shipped safely to minimise the risk of injury, bad health, or cruel treatment. The Director-General makes this decision after talking to the other authorities and scientists.
