<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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 <i>Agrypnus notodonta</i> from Egypt to the United States? The specimen is intended for exhibit in our Egyptian hall, not for research.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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!<o:p></o:p></p>
