Companies managing protected animals: must submit electronic self-declaration by April 16, 2026

The resolution establishes that from April 16, 2026, companies managing protected animals can submit their self-declaration of the CITES fee electronically, in accordance with the additional provision 5 of Royal Decree 986/2021. This change enables a more agile and digital submission, replacing the previously in-person procedure. Law 32/2007 establishes the general framework of the fee, but this resolution specifies the electronic procedure and its application date.
