Candidate countries data were checked and permit details cross-matched where exporters’ permit details were reported. During cross-checking, any transactions reported by the importers in 2010, but only reported by the exporting candidate country in 2011, were removed from the table below. Additional transactions were also removed from the tables when it was found that the same trade was reported by both trading partners (with permit numbers and quantities matching), but a miscoding of source, purpose or term details occurred by either the importer or the exporter.
Trade in three mammal, one reptile and one invertebrate taxa were reported by importing countries but not by candidate countries in 2010.
Exports of wild-collected CITES species in 2010 originating in candidate countries as reported by the importing countries only*.
