OATA has been made aware by DEFRA that a review of the non-detriment findings for Plerogyra sinuosa and Catalaphyllia jardinei corals from Indonesia has been undertaken.
As a result, the pre-existing negative opinions on these Species-Country combinations has changed and there is now a UK positive opinion for both species/country combinations.
As a result, these species are now legal for export from Indonesia and applications can now be made by traders wishing to import these species.
For further information on import suspensions (known as negative opinions) for CITES listed species, check out the Excel sheet available below.
