<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book","sans-serif"">We are researching the possibility of permanently importing a collection of ethnographic objects from South America which includes feathers of migratory birds, among other materials
from endangered species. Apparently the US fish and wildlife service has a lot of restrictions about importing this kind of stuff, especially migratory birds. Does anyone have experience in even attempting to get the permits to bring material like this into
the US, or know of any precedent for it?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
