Wild Animal and Plant Trade Regulations (SOR/96-263).

Regulations respecting the protection of certain species of wild animals and wild plants and the regulation of international and interprovincial trade in those species.
The Regulations give definitions of "animal" and "plant" for purposes of the Act, for purposes of importation and for purposes of interprovincial trade. A person who imports into Canada an animal or plant that is listed as "fauna" or "flora" in Appendix II to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of wild fauna and flora but is not listed in Schedule II, or any part or derivative of any such animal or plant, is exempted from holding a permit issued under subsection 10(1) of the Act where the person has obtained, before import, a permit, certificate or written authorization that satisfies the requirements of the Convention and is granted by a competent authority in the country of export. Importation and exportation of animals and plants shall be declared in accordance with these Regulations.
