What species do you need cities for

[nube]

I know you need Cities permits to sending Wolves and otter to the States. Does fisher and Lynx need them as well? I'm just getting permits for my wolves for now. Guess it takes about a month to complete

Here ya go Nube. I'd be interested in the process and how it goes for you.

Exporting

With some exceptions noted below, those wishing to export fur-bearing animals from Alberta must have a provincial export permit. These permits may be obtained from any Fish & Wildlife office.

Persons exporting wolf, lynx, bobcat, otter or black bear products out of Canada must also obtain a federal export permit issued according to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Information about CITES permits may be obtained at Environment Canada offices in Edmonton (780-951-8891) or Calgary (403-292-4103).

The following products* may be exported without a provincial export permit:

beaver castor,
beaver oil glands, claws, skulls and teeth of fur-bearing animals, and
processed (tanned or otherwise permanently preserved, but not dried, salted or frozen) skins of fur-bearing animals.
coyote skins lawfully possessed.
*The above products must have been harvested under a lawful authority in Alberta or elsewhere.

(Note: Black bear are classified as big game, not as fur-bearing animals. Most black bears taken from an RFMA require provincial export permits. For more information on export conditions for black bear, please contact the nearest Fish & Wildlife office. CITES permits are still required for exporting any part of a black bear, wolf, lynx, bobcat or otter across an international boundary.)

*Persons exporting fur directly to the European Union without using the services of Canadian fur auction houses, should be aware that special documents may be required. Please contact the receiving jurisdiction for applicable information.

Commercial Export of Wildlife to the United States
The United Sates Fish and Wildlife Service (US FWS) regulates commercial shipments of wildlife that enter or leave the U.S. In particular, taxidermist, trappers and outfitter-guides may experience difficulties transporting wildlife to the U.S. unless such businesses are licenced with the US FWS for transporting commercial shipments of wildlife across the U.S. border. For more information, contact the US FWS at 1-800-344-9453 or view information at: www.fws.gov

My other question was about an Export permit out of here but it looks like as long as it is tanned it is good to go as I had thought. Thanks Dave.

Lynx and black bears need a Cites permit too.

Unless the hunter brings the bear with him (strange rule on this one)
