It is an offense to remove wildlife or wildlife parts, other than a manufactured product to a place outside Nunavut unless you obtain a Wildlife Export Permit. To export parts of marine mammals you are required to obtain a Marine Mammal Transportation License. These permits must be obtained prior to leaving Nunavut and will not be issued after the items have been exported. For certain species of wildlife or marine mammals you may also require a C.I.T.E.S. Export Permit if your destination is outside Canada. This permit must be obtained prior to the item leaving the country.
