Sale of Pelts and Parts
No pelt of any fur-bearing animal, except one taken according to the regulations listed under Control of Problem Wildlife may be wasted, destroyed or spoiled. No raw skins of fur-bearing animals may be sold to anyone who is not a fur dealer. Anyone in legal possession of a beaver may sell the skinned carcass of the beaver to use as bait or animal food. Except as noted under Exporting, it is unlawful to export from Alberta all, or any part of, the skin or pelt of a fur-bearing animal, without first obtaining an Export Permit.The claws, skulls and teeth of lawfully taken fur-bearing animals may be sold without restriction (note that black bears are not included as they are big game animals). These parts of fur-bearing animals may also be exported without a provincial export permit (note that Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna — CITES permits are required for exporting any part of a wolf, lynx, bobcat or otter across an international boundary).
