What U.S. import controls apply to game birds?
Game birds and animals, other than protected species, that are legally taken by United States residents in Canada or Mexico may be imported for non-commercial purposes at any U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) port of entry and declared on a U.S. Fish and Wildlife (FWS) Form 3-177-1. Game and trophies from other countries must enter through a designated FWS port: Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Dallas/Ft.Worth, Honolulu, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York/Newark, Portland, San Francisco, and Seattle, Game must be accompanied by a valid hunting license, tags, stamps, and by an export document from the country where taken, if such is required. Only United States residents may import game free of duty. United States residents may only import migratory game birds that they themselves have legally killed. The Fish and Wildlife Service has regulations regarding the number and species of migratory game birds that may be imported from Canada, Mexico, and other countries. Hunters should familiarize themselves with the restrictions on migratory game birds taken legally during open season in other countries.
