CITES · Protected species

Identify the species and prepare the permit before the goods move.

We validate species and annex, review the operation documents and handle the permit when required.

CITES looks at the species, not the commercial name of the product.

CITES Convention · Reg. (EC) 338/97 · Import, export and re-export.

Why it matters

One species or permit detail can stop the whole operation

The correct documentation depends on the scientific name, the annex and the exact type of movement.

  • 01

    Species

    The commercial name is not enough: the scientific name must be confirmed.

  • 02

    Annex

    The species listing determines the obligations that apply.

  • 03

    Operation

    Import, export and re-export do not necessarily require the same document.

  • 04

    Consistency

    Species, quantity, invoice and permit must describe the same operation.

How it works

From species to the border

Four moments, in the order that determines the document.

01 · Species

We confirm the scientific name

We start with the actual product and check the species against official sources.

The commercial name may hide the species that CITES regulates.

02 · Annex

We determine which obligations apply

We establish which annex it is listed in and what that means for the operation type.

The obligation changes with the species and the movement.

03 · Permit

We review or handle the document

We check validity, scope and quantity; if a new document is needed, we handle the permit.

An import permit does not on its own cover a re-export.

04 · Operation

We leave the goods documented

Invoice, quantity, species and permit stay connected in the case file.

The operation reaches the border with the right document.

What Deslioo does

The platform cross-checks. The expert determines the document.

The system connects species, annex, permit and operation; a person decides how CITES applies.

Platform

Keeps every piece of data and every document tied to the operation.

  • Structures species, annex, quantity and permit.
  • Flags inconsistencies or missing documents.
  • Keeps the filing and evidence traceable.

Expert judgement

Confirms the species and the applicable obligation.

  • Validates the scientific name and annex.
  • Decides which document the operation requires.
  • Handles the permit before the authority when needed.
The case file stores the species by its scientific name and checks it against the official source. That is the detail the annex depends on — and with it, the document the operation requires.
What you get

The operation documented the way they will ask for it

The species identified, the right document and the permit reviewed or filed.

  • Species identified by scientific name and annex.
  • The right document for the operation type.
  • Permit reviewed for validity, scope and quantity.
  • Filing and operation case file, where applicable.

The deliverable is adapted to the species, annex and specific movement.

How we start

We start with what you are going to move

Product, known species, origin, destination and operation type allow us to define the work.

  1. 01

    Identify

    Product, species, origin, destination and the documents that already exist.

  2. 02

    Determine

    Annex, obligation and the document required by the operation.

  3. 03

    Prepare

    Permit review or filing and the case file for the movement.

We work on the specific case. The platform and portal are part of the contracted case file.

Frequently asked questions

What you need to know before moving a protected species

Related scenario The timber was bought under its trade name and the species was CITES-listed See the CITES scenario
How do I know whether my product is affected by CITES?

It depends on the species, not the commercial product. The first step is to identify the scientific name and check the annex.

I already have a permit — is it enough?

It depends on the operation type, validity, scope and quantity. We review it before the goods move.

Do you handle the permit yourselves?

Yes. When required, we handle the filing before the competent authority and follow it up.

Do you work with re-exports?

Yes. They require checking whether the entry document is enough or whether a different one is needed.

What happens if the species is misidentified?

The obligation may change. That is why we confirm the scientific name against official sources at the start.
