If it’s possible to have legal Fly River turtles due to cites paperwork, then why isn’t it possible for Asian arowana to be imported into the USA?

From my understanding, FRT legality stems from getting them into the country rather than possessing them. Asian arowana are illegal to have in any way shape or form. There is more to this but this is as simple as I can convey it at the time.

Bump for an amazing animal very few of us will get a chance to own!

CITES regulates the international trade in species listed on its Appendices, including Asian Arowana, which is listed on Appendix I. This means that no commercial international trade in this species is allowed. Captive bred specimens are exempted under certain circumstances.

The Asian Arowana, Scleropages formosus, is protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Under the ESA, it is unlawful to import, export, take, transport, sell, purchase, or receive in interstate or foreign commerce any species listed as endangered or threatened. You can view the list of species protected under ESA.

Please be advised that the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) treaty, in Article 14, states that the provisions in CITES shall in no way affect the right of party countries to adopt stricter domestic legislation regarding the trade in CITES specimens. The ESA is our “stricter domestic legislation.”

Therefore, even if the trade in Asian Arowana’s is allowed by CITES, it is still prohibited under the ESA

I can appreciate what you're doing and the fact they come with paperwork, but that price tag is close to a grand more than what you pay on fauna. That being said, I will be in touch regardless.
