[Nhcoll-l] laws concerning transport of Agrypnus notodonta

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

If this is a museum specimen then there is no need for an export permit if you have a transmittal letter (loan or gift form). And there are no requirements from the Egyptian side.

Agh! I forgot - Andy is totally right. You will also need the Egyptian export permit.

Since this is not a protected species, you can actually use any use any customs port <https://www.fws.gov/le/designated-ports.html> but I don't recommend it. Plenty of designated wildlife ports <https://www.fws.gov/le/designated-ports.html>

In order to get the specimen into the country you will need a USFWS 3-177 declaration of import form filled out.� For museum purposes you have 180 days in which to file this with USFWS.� In order to declare at the airport you will need to come through a designated port with a USFWS official on hand to do so.� You will need to route your flight through one of these ports and alert them beforehand that you will be coming through.� You should also have any additional paperwork from the Egyptian side available to smooth your passage � loan/gift paperwork etc.

More info on 3-177 can be found here:� https://www.fws.gov/le/declaration-form-3-177.html.� You can also file this online using e-Decs:� https://edecs.fws.gov/

Dear Colleagues �
�
I have done internet searches on this topic and asked our entomologists but haven�t found any hard information.� Would someone please guide me to a website concerning laws and any restrictions on a possible hand-carry of a single specimen of Agrypnus notodonta from Egypt to the United States?� The specimen is intended for exhibit in our Egyptian hall, not for research.
�
>From what I�ve been told this species is not endangered but I have concerns about it getting confiscated in customs for whatever reason.� Many thanks in advance for any guidance given, much appreciated!
