[Nhcoll-l] CITES question

[Pellegrini, Rodrigo [DOS]]

A potential donor has offered several mounts to the New Jersey State Museum, and two of them that we are considering are listed in CITES: an African lion and a Nile crocodile.
The donors have permits for them, but are located in Pennsylvania and don't know if the restrictions on selling the mounts out of their home state would apply to donating them to a museum out of state.

Our collection is largely paleontological, and I have not dealt with CITES very much at all.

In order to accept the mounts, what would we have to do? Does the museum need to get some sort of CITES certification? I assume we would need some kind of permit?
And, would the donors even be allowed to donate them to us given their current permit restrictions?

Thanks for any guidance.
