<p>Agh! I forgot - Andy is totally right. You will also need the Egyptian export permit.
<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>Since this is not a protected species, you can actually use <a href="https://www.fws.gov/le/designated-ports.html">
any use any customs port </a>but I don't recommend it. Plenty of <a href="https://www.fws.gov/le/designated-ports.html">
