Schedule 2 Species threatened by trade
Schedule 2: replaced, on 24 February 2017, by clause 4 of the Trade in Endangered Species Order 2017 (LI 2017/22).
The classes, families, and species listed in this schedule are arranged in descending order by class, then in alphabetical order by order, family, and species. This order of arrangement is adopted in the Convention.
The entries in the column headed “Exceptions/limitations” have the effect of—
(a)
excluding nominated populations in the listed species; or
(b)
limiting the applications of the listed species to only those populations nominated; or
(c)
excluding certain species from a generic listing; or
(d)
excluding nominated varieties of specimens of the listed species; or
(e)
limiting the application of the listed species to only those categories of specimens nominated.
When a species is included in this schedule, all parts and derivatives of the species are also included in the schedule unless the species is annotated to indicate that only specific parts and derivatives are included. The symbol # followed by a number placed against the name of a species or higher taxon included in this schedule refers to a footnote that indicates the parts or derivatives of plants that are designated as specimens subject to this Act. The footnotes are at the end of this schedule.

Schedule 3 Species exploited by trade
Schedule 3: replaced, on 24 February 2017, by clause 4 of the Trade in Endangered Species Order 2017 (LI 2017/22).
The classes, families, and species listed in this schedule are arranged in descending order by class, then in alphabetical order by order, family, and species. This order of arrangement is adopted in the Convention.
The countries listed in the column headed “Exceptions/limitations and countries requiring export permit” are parties to the Convention that require an export permit to authorise trade in the species listed in this schedule. Trade in those species in relation to other countries that are party to the Convention requires a certificate of origin.
When a species is included in this schedule, all parts and derivatives of the species are also included in the schedule unless the species is annotated to indicate that only specific parts and derivatives are included. The symbol # followed by a number placed against the name of a species or higher taxon included in this schedule refers to a footnote that indicates the parts or derivatives of plants that are designated as specimens subject to this Act. The footnotes are at the end of this schedule.
