Section 26

Any person who desires to export or re-export a specimen of any species listed in the Appendix that was legally acquired before the provisions of this Act applied to that specimen shall apply in writing to the Director for a certificate of acquisition.

The Director may, after (if necessary) consultation with the appropriate other management authority, issue a certificate of acquisition to the applicant if the management authority is satisfied that the specimen to which the application relates was legally acquired before the provisions of this Act applied to that specimen.

Part 2 does not apply to any person who has been issued with a certificate of acquisition under subsection (2).

Notwithstanding subsection (3), sections 7, 8 and 22 shall, with all necessary modifications, apply to a certificate of acquisition.
