The agreement originated from the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (UICN) in 1963, was opened for signature in 1973, and came into effect on July 1, 1975. The goal of CITES is to prevent international trade in wildlife from endangering their natural survival. It provides varying degrees of protection to more than 35,000 species.

The trade in crocodile leather is legally complex and requires sourcing it from farms where alligators are treated humanely. Unregulated commercial hunting has impacted crocodile populations, so governments have implemented conservation measures.

Uncertified leather will be seized, and selling inherited (pre-CITES) or illegally imported leather is a criminal offence.
