Details

You need a permit to import specimens listed by CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora).

You should check the import suspensions before you apply for a permit. The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) is not likely to give you a permit if your specimen is listed as having an import suspension.
