The Kalbarri Seahorse Sanctuary has sent a small test shipment of 200 of the creatures.
Sanctuary manager Mick Payne says there is a large market for seahorses as ornamental animals overseas.
He says he is delighted to start exporting after months of effort to get started.
“[It was] a long, hard struggle; I think it probably took us about six months all-in-all to get federal permission to export a listed animal, which applies to the seahorses,” he said.
“About one month ago we finally got the approval to actually do this.”
