Azerbaijan published export quotas for wild-sourced H. huso caviar and meat in most years<br />
2000-2010 (Tables 5 & 6). Caviar quotas appear to have been exceeded in 2003, 2004 and<br />
2005. For trade reported in 2009, all permits were issued before 29 February (i.e. during the<br />
2008 quota year), and no trade in caviar was recorded during the 2009 quota year. In 2009, a<br />
copy <strong>of</strong> a permit issued for 200 kg meat was submitted to UNEP-WCMC for entry in the<br />
Caviar Database; if this trade occurred, it would have exceeded the zero export quota in<br />
place for meat.<br />
Re-exports <strong>of</strong> H. huso originating in Azerbaijan 2000-2010 primarily consisted <strong>of</strong> wildsourced<br />
caviar traded for commercial purposes.<br />
