The countries you mentioned have indigenous monitors. So their laws may be for the protection of native species. Or like Australia where they close the borders to protect from disease and invasive species. You do know that Australia does not have common livestock and many other animal diseases.
The states do not have native monitors, unless you count those in coral cables, hahahahahahahahaha
The states is a CITES signee country, but is far more restrictive then CITES. CITES clearly states that appendix 1 animals produced out of country of origin, are to be moved to appendix 2, and appendix 2 bred out of country of origin are to become species of no concern. Yet, our fine country sees fit to overdue that and clamp down of what ever it feels like(above and beyond the laws or agreements) What is excessive. Europe and canada treats varanids as CITES intented. Thats why I say we are EXCESSIVE. USFW, let me say part of that again, "U.S." fish and wildlife are going out of their way to mess with non native species that are NOT prohibited to enter our country.
For instance our country does not accept European paperwork for appendix 2 captive born in Europe varanids. Which I believe is a violation of the CITES agreement.
