Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024
(a) Unless
otherwise provided for in State Statute or administrative rules, anyone
shipping or otherwise transporting wildlife, other than raptors, into or out of
the State of Oklahoma must first have authorization from the Department. A fee
will be changed to cover the costs of processing and handling the issuance of
the permit. The issuance of an import or export authorization number shall
constitute written authority from the Department for such import or
export.
(b) The following are the
procedures for obtaining a permit number.
(1)
Applicant may obtain a permit number by appearance at Department Headquarters
in person free of charge.
(2) All
permit numbers issued by mail or fax may be charged a five dollar ($5.00) fee.
A prepaid account may be established by persons wishing to fax or mail
requests.
(3) Applicant shall
provide all information required by the Department or permission for import or
export may be denied.
(4) Licensed
breeders may submit monthly export reports on forms prescribed by the
Department in-lieu of individual shipment requests for export. Licensed
breeders must submit annual reports of previous activity when reviewing the
license. The annual report shall cover the wildlife acquisitions that occurred
since their last annual report and must contain all wildlife that was held at
the beginning of the reporting period. If this is the breeder's first year of
operation then the reporting period will be from when the initial inspection
was conducted up to the renewal of the license. If the license is not going to
be renewed the annual report of previous activity must be submitted within
thirty (30) days following the expiration date of the license.
(5) Licensed breeders may ship or otherwise
transport to export from the confines of the State any wildlife lawfully bred
or propagated without a permit.
