in the case of a specimen of a species listed in Column I of Part 1 of the Schedule, that an import permit for that specimen has been granted by the management authority of the country of destination in accordance with the Convention;
that the export will not exceed any annual or other quota for the export of specimens of that species that the Management Authority may have adopted;
in the case of a live specimen, that it will be prepared and shipped so as to minimise the risk of injury, damage to health or cruel treatment; and
that the specimen was not obtained in contravention of any law, including any international treaty or convention or foreign law.
