What are the permit requirements

the American alligator? The American alligator (Alligator
mississippiensis) is listed as threatened due to similarity
of appearance under the ESA and in CITES Appendix II.
You must obtain a permit (click here for an application form)
if: (a) the export or re-export is commercial; (b) your
personal crocodilian (alligator, caiman, crocodile, or gavial)
items are more than four in quantity; (c) for personal items,
the foreign country requires you to have a U.S. CITES document;
or (d) the personal item is being mailed or shipped separately
to a foreign country.
You do not need a permit from us to export or re-export alligator
parts or product as accompanying personal baggage or effects,
or as part of a move of household effects if the total quantity
of personal crocodilian items is not more than four. Not

a CITES permit. Also, some countries may require an import permit
under their domestic legislation. Contact theforeign
