E. Export of Trophies by Hunters or Taxidermists (CITES)

NOTE 1: If you are a U.S. or Canadian resident exporting your personal, sport-hunted trophy to CANADA with you in your accompanying personal baggage (hand-carrying, not shipping by freight), you may not require a CITES export permit. The US recognizes “personal effects” and has a bilateral agreement with Canada that certain trophies (black bear/sandhill crane), either hand carried or shipped as part of your personal baggage, do not require a CITES export permit. Please note, however, only Canada and the United States have a bilateral agreement and that other countries that are Parties to CITES would require that an export permit be issued. If you have questions, please contact the Division of Management Authority at [email protected].

NOTE 2: If you are the taxidermist or freight forwarder applying on behalf of your client, you must complete Section B of page one with your business information. As exporter of record you are responsible for meeting the permit requirements, and providing the documentation to show you have Power of Attorney to act on your client’s behalf. The application must be submitted to the Division of Management Authority.

NOTE 3:  If you hunted in Alaska only, you may apply through the Law Enforcement Office in Anchorage, Alaska.

Provide the following information. Complete all questions on the application. Mark questions that are not applicable with "N/A". If needed, use a separate sheet of paper. On all attachments or separate sheets you submit, indicate the application question number you are addressing. If applying for more than one trophy, be sure to answer all of the questions for each trophy.

Electronic submission of inventories, photographs, and receipts: If you wish to provide information electronically, please include a flash drive containing this information with your physical application.

1. Name and address where you wish the permit to be mailed, if different from page 1. If you would like expedited shipping, please enclose a self-addressed, pre-paid, computer-generated, courier service airway bill. If unspecified, all documents will be mailed via regular mail through the U.S. Postal Service.

2. Who should we contact if we have questions about the application (name, phone number, and e-mail)?

3. Have you or your client (if a broker applying on behalf of your client), been assessed a civil penalty or convicted of any criminal provision of any statute or regulation relating to the activity for which the application is filed; been convicted, or entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, for a felony violation of the Lacey Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, or the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act; forfeited collateral; OR are currently under charges for any violation of the laws mentioned above?

If you answered “Yes” to Question 3, provide: a) the individual’s name; b) date of charge; c) charge(s); d) location of incident; e) court, and f) action taken for each violation. Please be aware that a “Yes” response does not automatically disqualify you from getting a permit.

9. If the trophy was a non-native (i.e., exotic) species hunted in the United States, provide:

1. A statement from the ranching operation or appropriate authorities of the hunting area that includes the scientific name; common name; month, year, and place of birth of the trophy animal; the date on which the animal was hunted; and the name of the authorized hunter. This statement must be signed by the person in charge of the ranching operation or hunting area and include the location where trophy was taken (area, region, or ranch and nearest city). For species protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), include a copy of the ranch’s valid Endangered Species Act take permit (the ranch should supply this document to you).
