CITES Ginseng Export Permit

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of wild fauna and flora (CITES) permit is required for international shipments of Cultivated Wisconsin Ginseng and Wild American Ginseng products. This applies to ginseng whole roots, prongs, fibers and slices, but ginseng powder is exempted. 

※ Cultivated Wisconsin Ginseng and Wild American Ginseng require separate CITES export permits and cannot be combined under a single permit.

※ This CITES permit CANNOT be applied retroactively, which means we cannot apply a CITES permit for ginseng already shipped.

※ This CITES permit is not sold separately and is only available when purchased together with eligible ginseng products.

There is no limit on the quantity of ginseng products per CITES permit; however, shipping carriers may have their own restrictions. Please check with your carrier before ordering your permit with us.

Please note that it takes at least 7 business days to go through the procedures. Make sure to give us the information below when you place your order for the CITES export permit in the "Add order note" at checkout. Thank you!

1 - Name and address of the consignee;
2 - Date of shipping.
