Export quotas

Export quotas can be searched by country with the pull-down menu above. The default year is the current year. If you are looking at a country's quota and want to view its quota for another year, change the year first and then click the country name again.

These comprehensive data include catch and export quotas for Acipenseriformes species, export quotas for raw elephant ivory and all other export quotas established by the Conference of the Parties and voluntary national export quotas communicated to the Secretariat in accordance with Resolution Conf. 12.3 (Rev. CoP14).
