Editing CITES (section)

====Captive bred or artificially propagated specimens====
CITES allows trade in specimens to follow special procedures if Management Authorities are satisfied that they are sourced from [[Captive breeding|captive bred]] animals or [[Plant propagation|artificially propagated]] plants.<ref>{{cite web |title=CITES Article VII |url=https://cites.org/eng/disc/text.php#VII |website=CITES.org |access-date=14 August 2022}}</ref> 
In the case of commercial trade of Appendix I taxa, captive bred or artificially propagated specimens may be traded as if they were Appendix II. This reduces the permit requirements from two permits (import/export) to one (export only). 
In the case of non-commercial trade, specimens may be traded with a certificate of captive breeding/artificial propagation issued by the Management Authority of the state of export in lieu of standard permits.
