CITES Training – 3 December 2026

Exclusively for SNA members

CITES Regulations: An International Agreement for the Protection of Wild Species

Since 1975, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, also known as the Washington Convention (CITES), has regulated trade involving more than 40,000 animal and plant species.

These regulations directly affect art market professionals, who must comply with sometimes complex administrative requirements as part of their commercial activities.

To help its members better understand and comply with these regulations, the Syndicat des Négociants en Art (SNA) is organising a webinar dedicated to CITES regulations and their practical implications for art dealers.

Led by Maître Hugo Bats, a lawyer at Bats Verdier and legal partner of the SNA, this session will provide a clearer understanding of the regulatory framework, help participants identify their legal obligations, and address practical questions faced by art market professionals.

The aim is to provide participants with clear, practical guidance that can be directly applied to their professional activities.
