The biggest trick is getting people to let you know they are sending specimens your way 🙂. If they do then you can file the 3-177 in advance and guess at the port of entry. If they don't, you can file it retroactively and maybe even use USPS tracking or
some such to figure out which port it arrived at.</div>

</div>
<div>I have had this discussion with USFWS before and it is difficult to know definitively where it may enter the United States. In general, shipments coming from South America to the United States have a "high likelihood" of first arriving in either Miami,
FL or Atlanta, GA. The recommendation if using a shipping vendor other than DHL, FedEx, or UPS is to file the USFWS 3-177 Import Declaration with the most likely port and include the 3-177 with the documentation. If it arrives in a different port than what
you chose, it is easy for communication between USFWS ports (if necessary) to occur during any customs' checks. If the package is only reviewed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, they may be the only communication point directly to the port indicated on
the 3-177.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out. We have had this occur multiple times in the past few years.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
<div><br>
Ben</div>
