A year or so ago, I published an article in CPN and at that point CITES
applications could only be obtained at the address listed below:
United States Department of the Interior
Office of the Management Authority
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
4401 N. Fairfax Dr., Rm. 420c
Arlington VA 22203
Phone (800) 358-2104
The CITES permit costs $25 and is non-refundable.

The address you mentioned has changed, also about a year ago. The new
address is:
USDA
APHIS-PPQ
Port Operations Permit Unit
4700 River Road, Unit 136
Riverdale, MD 20737-1236
Phone (301)734-8645
Fax (301)734-5786
This address should be used for import permits.
