Parrot permits .... both for international import & export
. our front desk reports increased scam activity in the area of purchasing parrots over the internet .. with the expectation of Air Animal being the pet shipper of choice for the scammers. Nothing could be further from the truth.
.. so .. before you wire your funds to a total stranger in another country, you may wish to take the following step.
... in order to move a parrot from one country to another, the exporter is required to obtain a CITES export permit from the originating country, and you as the purchaser/importer are required to obtain a CITES import permit from the agency in your country responsible for the issuing of CITES permits.
.... as all parrots are on the endangered species list .. therefore .. parrots do not move legitimately from one country to another with the appropriate CITES permits.
..... for parrots entering the United States, there is a mandatory 30 day quarantine; requiring both a CITES import permit, along with a permit from the USDA for the entry of the pet.
...... so, when the scammer who has been communicating with you via e mail sharing with you pretty pictures of parrots, you may wish to ask for the seller to scan the CITES export permit from the country of origin and e mait it to you as an attachement ... so that you may apply for the CITES import permit from the Fish & Wildlife Service ...www.fws.gov .. here in the United States.
...... when you are told ... " all the papers are in order " .. simply ask for them to be scanned and e mailed to you as an attachement ... ... and lo and behold .. there are no " papers ".
