SECTION E.

BALD EAGLE OR GOLDEN EAGLE TRANSPORT INTO THE UNITED STATES
FOR SCIENTIFIC OR EXHIBITION PURPOSES
(Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, 50 CFR 22.21)

A Federal Eagle Transport Permit is required to transport Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) or Golden Eagle (Aquila
chrysaetos) parts into the United States for scientific or exhibition purposes. The items may remain in the United States on
a temporary basis only; the BGEPA prohibits permanent importation. The item(s) may not change ownership and the
same items, unchanged, must be returned to the sender at the conclusion of the project or exhibit. If you will be
transporting species listed under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (e.g., songbird, hawk), in addition to Bald Eagle or Golden
Eagle parts to the United States, you may include them in this application. Live eagles or viable eagle eggs cannot be
transported into or out of the United States.
Only zoological parks, scientific societies and museums that meet the definition of “public” under 50 CFR 10.12 are
eligible for this permit. (50 CFR 22.21) Therefore, you must complete section B on page 1 of this application.
Note: All raptors, including Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles, are protected under the Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species (CITES). In addition to a Bald and Golden Eagle Transport permit to transport the eagle parts into
the United States, you will require a CITES Export permit from the exporting country and a CITES/ Eagle Transport for
Scientific or Exhibition Purposes permit from the U.S. Division of Management Authority (DMA) in order to
transport/export the items back to the foreign institution. The CITES/Eagle Transport for Scientific or Exhibition
Purposes application can be obtained at: http://www.fws.gov/forms/3-200-69.pdf.
You will need to include the following information with the 3-200-69 application you submit to DMA prior to
transport/export from the U.S.: (a) a copy of the canceled foreign CITES export or re-export document that accompanied
the shipment into the United States, (b) a copy of the cleared (stamped) U.S. Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle Transport
permit, and (c) a copy of the cleared (stamped) U.S. Declaration for Importation (FWS form 3-177). (If any species you
propose to transport/ import/export is listed in Appendix I of CITES, or listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act or the
Wild Bird Conservation Act, you may require additional import or export permits under those laws Contact DMA..) All
wildlife shipments must enter and exit the United States through a wildlife port designated in 50 CFR 14.12
(http://www.fws.gov/le/ImpExp/Contact_Info_Ports.htm.), unless a port exception is authorized on your permit or you
have a separate exception to designated port permit issued under 50 CFR 14. (For more information about importing and
exporting wildlife, visit http://permits.fws.gov.)
Please provide the following information in the space provided or numbered accordingly to the questions below on a separate
sheet of paper. You should be as thorough and specific as possible in your responses. Incomplete applications will be returned,
delayed or abandoned.
