continuation of the Exxon Valdez Public
Advisory Committee is recommended.

at the time and port where they request
clearance of the import or export of
wildlife or wildlife products. Our
regulations allow for certain species of
wildlife to be imported or exported
between the United States and Canada
or Mexico at U.S. Customs and Border
Protection ports, even though our
wildlife inspectors may not be present.
In these instances, importers and
exporters may file the forms with U.S.
Customs and Border Protection. We
collect the following information:
(1) Name of the importer or exporter
and broker.

the fish or wildlife.
