Default What are the requirements for importing wildlife, such as fish, amphibians (lizards, snakes, etc.) and animal parts?


The following categories of wildlife and fish are subject to enable certain prohibitions, restrictions, and quarantine requirements:

Molluscs
other invertebrates

Any part or products such as feathers, skins, eggs and texts are made from wild animals to the same restrictions.





Federal laws prohibit the importation or transportation of wildlife or wildlife parts of this failed state or foreign laws. The following ports are designed for the entry of all fish and wildlife:



Atlanta

Baltimore

Boston

Chicago

Dallas / Ft.Worth

Honolulu

Los Angeles

Miami

New Orleans

New York / Newark

Portland

San Francisco

Seattle



All of these packages and containers shall be marked, labeled, or has to clearly indicate the name and address of the sender and the receiver, and the number and type of content.



Wildlife in any form, including pets, in one or exported from the United States must be declared and cleared on an FWS Form 3-177 (Declaration for the import or export of fish or game) by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS ) before the U.S. Customs and Border Protection release.



Contact EWS for more clearance and requirements for a copy of the pamphlet "Facts About Federal Wildlife Laws" and "Buyer Beware".



Also at the animal and plant health inspection service for information about importing animal and bird life products such as hides, eggs, feathers, etc.
