Details

Use form WLRS02 to confirm that you’re the new owner of a gifted or loaned specimen listed under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

A specimen includes any living or dead plant or animal (or any of its parts) CITES controls.

You only need the certificate for use of a species listed under annex A of CITES.

Use the Species+ tool to search for an endangered species. Check which annex (A, B, C or D) it’s classified under.

Send the form to the APHA Centre for International Trade: Bristol.
