THE SCHEDULE

Sections 2(1) and 28

Scheduled species

Interpretation of the Appendices

1.  Appendix I includes all species threatened with extinction which are or may be affected by trade. Trade in specimens of these species is subject to particularly strict regulation in order not to endanger further their survival and is only authorised in exceptional circumstances.

2.  Appendix II includes —

(a) all species which may become threatened with extinction unless trade in specimens of such species is subject to strict regulation in order to avoid utilisation incompatible with their survival; and

(b) other species which are subject to regulation in order that trade in specimens of certain species referred to in sub‑paragraph (a) may be brought under effective control.

3.  Appendix III includes all species which any contracting State or Party to CITES (also called in this Schedule the Convention) identifies as being subject to regulation within its jurisdiction for the purpose of preventing or restricting exploitation, and as needing the cooperation of other Parties in the control of trade.

4.  In these Appendices, unless the context otherwise requires —

“Conference of the Parties” means the Conference of the Parties to CITES;

“Secretariat” means the Secretariat established under Article XII of CITES;

“Standing Committee” means the Standing Committee of the Conference of the Parties established under Annex 1 of Resolution Conf. 11.1 (Rev. CoP16) adopted by the Conference of the Parties.

5.  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.

6.  The abbreviation “spp.” is used to denote all species of a higher taxon.

7.  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.

In addition, for animal species listed in Appendix III and plant species listed in Appendix II or III, 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 animals or plants that are designated as “specimens” subject to the provisions of the Convention in accordance with Article I, paragraph (b), sub‑paragraph (ii) or (iii).

12.  The terms and expressions below, used in annotations in these Appendices, are defined as follows:

(a) Extract

Any 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), semisolid (e.g. gums, waxes) or liquid (e.g. solutions, tinctures, oil and essential oils).

(b) Finished musical instruments

A musical instrument (as referenced by the Harmonized System of the World Customs Organization, Chapter 92; musical instruments, parts and accessories of such articles) that is ready to play or needs only the installation of parts to make it playable. This term includes antique instruments (as defined by the Harmonized System codes 97.05 and 97.06; Works of art, collectors pieces and antiques).

(c) Finished musical instrument accessories

A musical instrument accessory (as referenced by the Harmonized System of the World Customs Organization, Chapter 92; musical instruments, parts and accessories of such articles) that is separate from the musical instrument, and is specifically designed or shaped to be used explicitly in association with an instrument, and that requires no further modification to be used.

(d) Finished musical instrument parts

A part (as referenced by the Harmonized System of the World Customs Organization, Chapter 92; musical instruments, parts and accessories of such articles) of a musical instrument that is ready to install and is specifically designed and shaped to be used explicitly in association with the instrument to make it playable.

(e) Finished products packaged and ready for retail trade

Products, 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.

(f) Powder

A dry, solid substance in the form of fine or coarse particles.

(g) Shipment

Cargo transported under the terms of a single bill of lading or air waybill, irrespective of the quantity or number of containers, packages, or pieces worn, carried or included in personal baggage.

(h) Ten (10) kg per shipment

For the term “10 kg per shipment”, the 10 kg limit should be interpreted as referring to the weight of wood of each individual annotated species of genus Dalbergia or Guibourtia present in the items in the shipment. The 10 kg limit is to be assessed only against the individual weights of the portions of wood of each individual annotated species contained in each item of the shipment, and not against the total weight of the shipment. The total weights present of each individual annotated species are considered individually to determine whether a CITES permit or certificate is required for each individual annotated species, and weights of different individual annotated species are not added together for this purpose.

[S 92/2023 wef 23/02/2023]

(i) Transformed wood

Defined by Harmonized System code 44.09: Wood (including strips, friezes for parquet flooring, not assembled), continuously shaped (tongued, grooved, rebated, chamfered, v-jointed, beaded, moulded, rounded or the like) along any of its edges, ends or faces, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed.

[S 92/2023 wef 23/02/2023]

(j) Wood‑chips

Wood that has been reduced to small pieces.

Notes:

1 For the exclusive purpose of allowing international trade in fibre from vicuñas (Vicugna vicugna) and their derivative products, only if the fibre comes from the shearing of live vicuñas. Trade in products derived from the fibre may only take place in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) Any person or entity processing vicuña fibre to manufacture cloth and garments must request authorisation from the relevant authorities of the country of origin (Countries of origin: The countries where the species occurs, that is, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and Peru) to use the “vicuñas country of origin” wording, mark or logo adopted by the range States of the species that are signatories to the Convention for the Conservation and Management of the Vicuña.

(b) Marketed cloth or garments must be marked or identified in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) For international trade in cloth made from live‑sheared vicuña fibre, whether the cloth was produced within or outside the range States of the species, the wording, mark or logo must be used so that the country of origin can be identified. The VICUÑA [COUNTRY OF ORIGIN] wording, mark or logo has the format as detailed below:

This wording, mark or logo must appear on the reverse side of the cloth. In addition, the selvages of the cloth must bear the words VICUÑAS [COUNTRY OF ORIGIN].

(ii) For international trade in garments made from live‑sheared vicuña fibre, whether the garments were produced within or outside of the range States of the species, the wording, mark or logo indicated in paragraph (b)(i) must be used. This wording, mark or logo must appear on a label on the garment itself. If the garments are produced outside of the country of origin, the name of the country where the garment was produced should also be indicated, in addition to the wording, mark or logo referred to in paragraph (b)(i).

(c) For international trade in handicraft products made from live‑sheared vicuña fibre produced within the range States of the species, the VICUÑA [COUNTRY OF ORIGIN] ARTESANÍA wording, mark or logo must be used as detailed below:

(d) If live‑sheared vicuña fibre from various countries of origin is used for the production of cloth and garments, the wording, mark or logo of each of the countries of origin of the fibre must be indicated, as detailed in paragraphs (b)(i) and (ii).

(e) All other specimens shall be deemed to be specimens of species listed in Appendix I and the trade in them shall be regulated accordingly.

2 Populations of Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe (listed in Appendix II):

For the exclusive purpose of allowing:

(a) trade in hunting trophies for non-commercial purposes;

(b) trade in live animals to appropriate and acceptable destinations;

(c) trade in hides;

(d) trade in hair;

(e) trade in leather goods;

(f) trade in individually marked and certified ekipas incorporated in finished jewellery for non-commercial purposes for Namibia and ivory carvings for non‑commercial purposes for Zimbabwe.

The Standing Committee can decide to cause this trade to cease partially or completely in the event of non-compliance by exporting or importing countries, or in the case of proven detrimental impacts of the trade on other elephant populations.

All other specimens shall be deemed to be specimens of species included in Appendix I and the trade in them shall be regulated accordingly.

3 A zero export quota for wild specimens traded for commercial purposes, except for specimens from the population of Saiga tatarica of Kazakhstan under the following conditions:

(a) Trade in only government owned whole horns, originating in Kazakhstan, stockpiled and marked in accordance with marking and traceability requirements developed by Kazakhstan;

(b) Prior verification by the Secretariat and Kazakhstan, in consultation with the Standing Committee through its Chair, that sufficient control mechanisms and traceability systems are already in place in Kazakhstan and trade partners;

(c) Kazakhstan supervises the first shipment to each new trading partner to ensure the marking and traceability systems are in place and working adequately; and

(d) Limited to a total amount of 30 tons until CoP21 to be reviewed in order to determine a potential for further trade based on a revised proposal.

On a proposal from the Secretariat, the Standing Committee can decide to cause this trade to cease partially or completely in the event of non-compliance by exporting or importing countries, or in the case of proven detrimental impacts of the trade on the saiga population.

– Cactaceae spp. colour mutants grafted on the following grafting stocks: Harrisia ‘Jusbertii’, Hylocereus trigonus or Hylocereus undatus

– Opuntia microdasys (cultivars).

10 Artificially propagated hybrids of the following genera are not subject to the provisions of the Convention, if conditions, as indicated under (a) and (b), are met: Cymbidium, Dendrobium, Phalaenopsis and Vanda:

(a) Specimens are readily recognizable as artificially propagated and do not show any signs of having been collected in the wild such as mechanical damage or strong dehydration resulting from collection, irregular growth and heterogeneous size and shape within a taxon and shipment, algae or other epiphyllous organisms adhering to leaves, or damage by insects or other pests; and

(b)  (i) when shipped in non‑flowering state, the specimens must be traded in shipments consisting of individual containers (such as cartons, boxes, crates or individual shelves of CC‑containers) each containing 20 or more plants of the same hybrid; the plants within each container must exhibit a high degree of uniformity and healthiness; and the shipment must be accompanied by documentation, such as an invoice, which clearly states the number of plants of each hybrid; or

     (ii) when shipped in flowering state, with at least one fully open flower per specimen, no minimum number of specimens per shipment is required but specimens must be professionally processed for commercial retail sale, e.g. labelled with printed labels or packaged with printed packages indicating the name of the hybrid and the country of final processing. This should be clearly visible and allow easy verification.

Plants not clearly qualifying for the exemption must be accompanied by appropriate CITES documents.

11 Artificially propagated specimens of cultivars of Cyclamen persicum are not subject to the provisions of the Convention. However, the exemption does not apply to such specimens traded as dormant tubers.

12 Artificially propagated hybrids and cultivars of Taxus cuspidata, live, in pots or other small containers, each consignment being accompanied by a label or document stating the name of the taxon or taxa and the text ‘artificially propagated’, are not subject to the provisions of the Convention.
