A person required to have a commercial fur license who takes an otter or bobcat must tag the fur, pelt, hide, or whole animal before it is sold, shipped, or transferred to a person or business, or transported out of the State, if required by the federal government in order to comply with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). The department is authorized to issue CITES tags and shall charge a processing fee of three dollars for each order. The tags must be of a type and size the department prescribes. The tags must be securely attached and may not be removed until the time of processing. Any fur, pelt, hide, or whole animal which does not have a tag attached as required by this section or that is unlawfully tagged is declared contraband and must be confiscated. Tags may only be used for the specific species for which they are issued. These tags are nontransferable and may not be altered in any manner. The department may limit the number of tags issued for each species and the area in which they may be used. Furbearing animals taken live to be sold as live animals are not required to be tagged.
