AFAIK CITES permits are only required by the exporting country. That means that the permit was required to move it from, say, Fiji to LA. Now that it's landed Stateside I would have thought they need to apply for their own CITES permit to move it across the border into Canada.. Perhaps not, or perhaps they're conveniently ignorant of some existing law. Or maybe NAFTA makes some odd provisions about this and the many retailers that refuse to ship to Canada are either unaware of this or don't think the Canadian market is worth the added hassle.
