E. IMPORT OF SPORT-HUNTED TROPHIES OF ARGALI

Note 1: If you hold an import permit for trophy/trophies that you did not use, please return the unused original
permit to the address on page one.
Note 2: If you are requesting reissuance of a permit because you have taken a trophy, but were unable to import
it prior to the expiration of the permit, please use the renewal form (3-200-52) and return your original
permit with that form.
Note 3: This form should be used only if:
a.
You intend to hunt in Mongolia, the Kyrgyz Republic (Kyrgyzstan), and the Republic of Tajikistan
(Tajikistan) that has annual quotas on the take of argali.
b.

Any permits issued will be conditioned that the permit is valid only if, at the port of entry, evidence
from the conservation agency in the country of origin is presented showing that the trophy was
part of that quota (e.g., copy of hunting license)

c.

If you are hunting in a different country, please use form 3-200-20.

Note 4: Sport-hunted trophy is defined at 50 CFR 23.74 as follows: Sport-hunted trophy means a whole dead
animal or a readily recognizable part or derivative of an animal specifically identified on the accompanying CITES
document that meets the following criteria:
•
•
•
•

Is raw, processed, or manufactured;
Was legally obtained by the hunter through hunting for his or her personal use;
Is being imported, exported, or re-exported by or on behalf of the hunter as part of the transfer from its
country of origin ultimately to the hunter's country of usual residence; and
Includes worked, manufactured, or handicraft items made from the sport-hunted animal only when:
i.
Such items are contained in the same shipment as raw or tanned parts of the sport-hunted animal
and are for the personal use of the hunter;
ii.
The quantity of such items is no more than could reasonably be expected given the number of
animals taken by the hunter as shown on the license or other documentation of the authorized hunt
accompanying the shipment; and
iii.
The accompanying CITES documents (export document and, if appropriate, import permit) contain a
complete itemization and description of all items included in the shipment.
