What is a CITES statement?
Elephants are threatened with extinction. This is due, for example, to poaching for ivory. The African elephant (Loxodonta africana) and the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) are therefore strictly protected CITES animals.
Do you want to sell, (re)import or (re)export ivory? Then you need an official CITES statement. There are rules for that.
These rules are contained in the international CITES agreement, described at thewebsite of de Rijksoverheid.(RVO)
CITES stands for Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
CITES contains regulations on the international trade in protected species. And about transporting it.
