Nada, welcome to the forum, I hope you will be able to find the perfect Savannah to import! I think I've posted this somewhere else on the furm but will post again the guidelines I have given others who have considered exporting from the US:
Savannahs require CITES through the fourth generation to export out of the country. The Serval is an Appendix II species: http://www.cites.org/eng/app/E-Apr27.pdf see pg 6 – any felidae species not Appendix I is Appendix II, this includes leptailurus Serval.
Then you must read Animal Hybrids: Amendment of Resolution Conf 10.17:
http://www.cites.org/eng/cop/11/doc/49.pdf read specifically point #3 on the first page:
3. The need for a harmonized understanding of the term was discussed by the Animals Committee at its 14th meeting (Caracas, May 1998). It was noted that, at the time of the discussion of this subject at the 10th meeting of the Conference of the Parties, when the resolution was adopted, a statement was made by one delegation that the “recent lineage” of a hybrid animal should be understood to mean the previous four generations of its lineage. There was no objection to this atthe time. The Animals Committee agreed that this interpretation provided a good guideline for theParties. and then page 3 point b: b) hybrid animals that have in their recent lineage one or more specimens of species included in Appendix I or II shall be subject to the provisions of the Convention just as if they were full species, even if the hybrid concerned is not specifically included in the appendices;
· CITES permit application: http://www.fws.gov/forms/3-200-24.pdf
· In addition, you will also need the following:
· US Fish and Wildlife Import/Export License: http://www.fws.gov/forms/3-200-3.pdf
· International Health Certificate: http://www.petrelocation.com/pdf/APHIS7001.pdf
· Inspection by a US Fish and Wildlife officer prior to exiting the country. You need to make the appointment through eDecs: https://edecs.fws.gov/
· Official five generation pedigree from TICA or other cat registry
· Sales invoice/receipt from the breeder
You must use a Designated Port to ship through, or else you will also need to obtain a Port Exception Permit. But before you do that make sure whichever office you decide to work through is willing to do the inspection.
