[Nhcoll-l] Incoming package from Brazil

[Benjamin Hess]

Paul,

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.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out. We have had
this occur multiple times in the past few years.

Sincerely,

Ben
