E. IMPORT/TRANSPORT OF INJURIOUS WILDLIFE
General information:
Under the Lacey Act (18 U.S.C. 42), any importation of injurious wildlife regulated under 50 CFR 16 into
the United States or its territories or possessions must be authorized under a permit issued by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service. In addition, for any injurious specimens listed in 50 CFR 16, transport between
the continental United States, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or any
territory or possession of the United States by any means whatsoever must be authorized by the Service.
If you are requesting authorization for activities that involve a species listed under the Endangered
Species Act, you must complete Section E of form 3-200-37 and include your responses with this
application.
Complete all questions on this 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, please
indicate the application question number you are addressing. If you are applying for multiple
specimens, be sure to indicate which specimen you are addressing in each response.
When do I need an injurious wildlife permit?
New import
Movement between listed jurisdictions
(Continental United States, D.C., Hawaii, Puerto
Rico, or any other United States possession)
Movement between different institutions for
animals that were previously permitted for import
or progeny of such an individual (documentation
required)

●

When do I not need an injurious wildlife
permit?
Movement between States within the continental
United States for individuals (or progeny) not
previously imported under a permit
Acquisition of an injurious wildlife species
Movement from one facility or exhibit to another
within the same permitted institution
Importation or transport of dead natural-history
specimens of wildlife or their eggs for museum or
scientific collection (excluding migratory birds or
dead game mammals from Mexico)
Importation or transport of any live wildlife for
direct use by a Federal agency (excluding
migratory birds)
Export

For transport of injurious wildlife that was previously imported under an injurious wildlife
permit, or is progeny of wildlife that was imported under an injurious wildlife permit, the sending
institution applies for the permit.
● Previous permit conditions, which require that future transport of that animal or its
progeny must be permitted, continue to apply to permitted animals.
● “Progeny” means ANY animal in the lineage, not just direct descendent.

What is the proposed activity (check appropriate section)?
___ Importation (other permits may be necessary under CITES, ESA, or both)
___ Transportation between the continental United States, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or any territory or possession between facilities that have
been previously permitted for the species (other permits may be necessary under ESA)
___ Transportation between the continental United States, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or any territory or possession for educational purposes

If you have an animal that needs to be permitted, all previous permit conditions still apply:
