Commercial Shipments of CITES Appendix 1 Cycads
- Cycads that are listed as CITES Appendix I plants can be legally shipped to any destination in the world.
- Our Nursery establishment is approved under an Artificial Propagation Program which then allows us to be issued with a valid export permit every 6 months for multiple consignments.
- CITES Appendix I and EPBC listed threatened species can be legally exported and are recognised by authorities worldwide by the Codes legend on that Export Permit.
A – artificially propagated.
D – Appendix I plants artificially propagated for commercial purposes. eg Encephalartos (ID) specifies that Appendix I Cycads can be legally exported as they are then classified as Appendix II Cycads under the CITES Act.
