3-200-6 Application Frequently Asked Questions about Migratory Bird Import/Export

A Federal Migratory Bird Import / Export permit authorizes a permittee to import and/or export across the international boundary into and/or out of the United States.  This includes live birds as well as mounted birds, specimens, feathers, parts (including samples, blood, and DNA), nests, and eggs. 

NOTE: Do not use this form for transporting Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, species listed under CITES (the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species), or species other than migratory birds. If you will be transporting Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, and/or CITES listed species in addition to migratory birds, migratory birds may be included in those application forms.
