The species of the 28 import permits issued under purpose H (- Hunting Trophies) between 1 July 2024 and 25 March 2026 were as follows:
- Crocodylus niloticus
- Giraffa camelopardalis
- Hippopotamus amphibius (x 4)
- Loxodonta Africana (x 16)
- Panthera leo

It is important to note that a single permit does not necessarily correspond to a single animal; in some cases, multiple CITES permits may be required for an individual animal.
