I am heading to Namibia in July. I am hopeing to take a mountain zebra. I found a site with CITIES permit information. I printed the application, but I must admit I don't have the slightest idea how to fill it out or what to do with it once it is filled out. It looks like paper work for a lawer to me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. | ||

The CITIES is only necessary on the other end (Namabia) for export and the outfitter should take care of that chore for you the CITIES is not necessary for import here as is for Leopard. If they don't I would look for another outfit to hunt with as this is a very basic service and if they don't do that, well there will probably be other short commings. | |||

As DOJ said, there are different levels of CITES requirements and for Mountain Zebra you need the export permit from Namibia which your PH/safari company should arrange and send with yor trophies. Leopard requires an import permit from the US side as well as the export permit from Namibia. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

Ok so I do not need an import permit? Good to know, because when I was at the Reno SCI convention, I was told that I did need an import permit for mountain zebra. | |||

You need it but you basically can't do it yourself. It is not something to worry about. I have taken 3 MT Zebra with two different oufitters in Namabia and never once was anything said about the permit it is just something they do for you. | |||

Terry's link give you the information you need. Maybe I need to work on my nomenclature, but you need a permit from the Namibia side to import the trophy. From the link:

OK thanks for the information. I sent an e-mail to the outfitter this morning, asking about their end. | |||

DrC Yes you do need a Import permit (Cites) for your Mountain Zebra, the type you need is issued by the country of orgin, Namibia. The cites will come over with your crate. USFWS will keep the orginal when it is cleared at the port of entry. It would be a good idea to get copies sent over to you for your own records. And if possible get copies of everything when it arives in the USA. You may never need them, but it's a very good idea to have them..... "America's Meat - - - SPAM" As always, Good Hunting!!!
