your splitting hairs aqualine.
People are trying to point out to you that if some guy in Fiji wants a soft coral for his tank so he swims out, cuts one off the reef, (assuming he has all his local permits) and goes and drops it in his aquarium, then CITIES never enters into the matter.
Your arguing an accepted point, CITIES DOES come into play when coral is shipped to any country that RECOGNIZES CITIES. It govers TRANSPORTATION, not collection.
If I go to the phillipines and purchase an asian arrowana, throw it in a tank in the phillipines and live there with the fish for the next 20 years, I haven't broken the law. But if I want to transport the fish back to the states, then I would have to apply for (and be denied) a cities permit.

This thread addresses the following:
ERICinFL addressed his question if he can go to the Islands of the Caribbean and purchases corals can he return with them to America...
The answer is NO, as corals are protect endangered species and none permissible for export/import without CITIES.
Now if someone in Fiji or the Philippines or here in the USA wishes to harvest corals for personal use, well that is simply an immoral issue!
Corals are endangered for this specific reason, those who harvest without regard to the laws that protect them.
CITIES helps implement the protection of specific species worldwide!

In Venezuela you don't need any permit to collect corals, rock, fish or inverts, as long as you are collecting outside of national parks. Same applies to Curacao and Aruba.
I don't understand why people say that you can't do stuff in other countries when they have never been out of the US.
