USFWS and traveling with specimens...

[LEPS-L]

Hi all,



I am wondering what any of your experiences have been in dealing with USFWS 
upon bringing back specimens from a foreign collecting trip? I would be 
interested in hearing from anyone who has done this, whether for scientific 
research, a personal collection, or for commercial purposes. I have an 
opportunity to collect in South America, and I have a USFWS license. I am 
wondering about bringing back specimens in my suitcase. Their perishable 
nature will require a quick inspection at the airport in between plane 
layovers. I'd like to know what experiences any of you have had. Thanks very 
much!
