Whats the reason behind them not needing paperwork, just out of interest?

All tortoise species are listed on CITES. They are split into 2 groups. Annex A and B. Tortoises listed on A need paperwork to be imported or sold, whereas tortoises listed on B don't. Horsfield tortoises are listed on B so do not need paperwork.
This is my understanding of it anyway
