EXPORT FROM THE PROVINCE
*It is unlawful to export wildlife from
BC unless you have a valid export permit
or are exempted from holding an export
permit
*An export permit is required if the
animal is exported more than 1 year after
the date of kill.
*An export permit is required if the
hunter does not accompany their animal
while exporting it from the Province,
regardless of the date of kill.
*An export permit is not required if the
hunter accompanies their animal within
1 year of the kill AND provides the
cancelled species licence and (where
Compulsory Inspection is required) the
Compulsory Inspection Data Sheet.
*In the case of an animal covered under
the Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora
(C.I.T.E.S.), a C.I.T.E.S. Export Permit may
be required (see C.I.T.E.S. section for list of
animals requiring C.I.T.E.S. Export Permits).
U.S. residents, please refer to C.IT.E.S.
section for additional information on black
bear exports.
*Hunters planning to hunt in MUs 7-19
or 7-20 and accessing BC by way of the
Alberta border should contact the Permit &
Authorization Service Bureau (see page 63)
to obtain export permits for Compulsory
Inspection species prior to starting their hunt.
*When a big game animal has been
processed by a taxidermist, a tanner or
meatcutter, it may be exported with an
export permit to the hunter who lives in
another province or in another country.
*British Columbia is part of a North
American system of recording wild sheep
identification and hence all sheep horns
harvested in the province must be inspected
by a qualified Compulsory Inspector and
a numbered plug inserted in one of the
horns.
*Where a hunter or taxidermist, tanner
or meatcutter has any doubt or questions
about how to proceed under any circumstances
which are not covered in the foregoing,
he or she should contact the F&W
Branch or a MoE regional office as soon as
possible.
*Hunters possessing a mountain goat,
mountain sheep, caribou or grizzly bear harvested in BC, who must drive through the
Yukon and back into BC in order to submit
the animal for compulsory inspection, are
exempt from obtaining an export permit
for this purpose.

More re export permit...I took the following from the new B.C. wildlife act...

Under the new Permit Regulation, two basic types of permits may be granted. You can obtain permits that authorize you to conduct specific activities, or that exempt you from having to comply with certain regulations. Most permits apply for limited periods of time--usually not more than 5 years.

You will need an authorization permit to engage in any of the following activities:

possessing dead wildlife or wildlife parts
capturing, possessing or importing live wildlife
trafficking in live wildlife, or dead wildlife which you do not lawfully own
rehabilitating injured wildlife
transporting or exporting wildlife or parts
trapping, hunting or killing wildlife for any of the following reasons: crop protection, population control, scientific research, public safety, or ceremonial, educational or humane purposes.
hunting for big game with a non-resident of B.C.
possessing or distributing game meat for sustenance (e.g. food bank)
