If you intend to export a specimen of an endangered species of animal or plant to a third country (outside the EU) under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and related EU law, you must have a permit for this export. In the case of the planned export of specimens of artificially propagated plant species listed in Annex B of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 and hybrids of species listed in Annex A of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 , you can use the phytosanitary certificate for export, which in this case replaces the permit for the export of specimens of endangered species (CITES permit).
A phytosanitary certificate can be issued by the Central Institute for Supervising and Testing in Agriculture upon request.
