I noticed the following:-
Wild ginseng collected in different harvest seasons require separate CITES exports permits issued specific to the season that the ginseng was collected in.
? Allow DMA 60 days to process your application.
? A complete original CITES export permit plus two complete copies of that permit, a complete Wild Ginseng Export Report, the original State Certificates, and a shipper's invoice are all required at the time of export. CITES export permits are valid for six months.
? For more information, contact DMA at:phone:1-800-358-2104 or 1-703-358-2104; Fax:1-703-358-2281; E-mail:

Wow..does it really take 60 days for the dealers to get the CITES export permit?
