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.

permit. (50 CFR 22.67) Therefore, you must complete section B on page 1 of this application.

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, unless a port exception is authorized on your permit or you have a
