If the U.S. importer intends to import this belt for commercial purposes, consistent with our definition of commercial, regulations contained in Title 50, of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 14.91, require that they must obtain an import/export license prior to engaging in business as an importer or exporter of wildlife or wildlife products. The license is valid for one year from the date of issuance and costs $100.00. In addition, as an import/export license holder, they must pay a $55.00 inspection fee for each wildlife shipment imported or exported under the license. Any wildlife shipment would be considered commercial if the shipment is being imported or exported " related to the offering for sale or resale, purchase, trade, barter, or the actual or intended transfer in the pursuit of gain or profit, of any item of wildlife and includes the use of any wildlife article as an exhibit for the purpose of soliciting sales." The U.S. importer can view our complete definition of commercial at the following website: http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=2a9652dc6b37e04aa0e7360c424f07e5&rgn=div8&view=text&node=50:1.0.1.2.8.1.7.4&idno=50 The U.S. importer can find the application for an import/export license on our website at the following address: http://www.fws.gov/forms/3_200_3.pdf If the U.S. importer is not importing this belt for commercial purposes, consistent with our definition of commercial, they do not have to apply for an import/export license. An import/export license only authorizes the importation or exportation of wildlife or wildlife products in general terms. Please be advised that this license is in addition to, and not in place of, any other licenses or permits required for protected species of wildlife. Red coral is typically in the genus Corallium. Effective July 1, 2008, 4 species of Corallium coral were included in Appendix III of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). CITES is an international agreement between governments. Its aim is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. The species covered by CITES are listed in three appendices according to the degree of protection they need. Appendix I includes species threatened with extinction. Trade in specimens of these species is permitted only in exceptional circumstances. Appendix II includes species not necessarily threatened with extinction, but for which trade must be controlled in order to avoid overutilization that may threaten them with extinction. Appendix III contains species that are protected in at least one country, which has asked other CITES Party countries for assistance in controlling the trade in that species The U.S. importer must obtain a valid CITES export document issued by the CITES Management Authority in the United Kingdom in order to import products manufactured from any of these 4 Corallium coral species into the United States. The U.S. importer can find contact information for the United Kingdom CITES Management Authority on the CITES website at: : http://www.cites.org Whether or not the coral species used in the manufacture of this belt is protected by CITES, as the U.S. importer prepares to import this belt into the United States, they must complete Form 3-177, Declaration for Importation or Exportation of Fish or Wildlife. The U.S. importer can find this form on our website at the following address: http://www.fws.gov/le/ImpExp/faqs.htm This form is not difficult to complete, although the U.S. importer must provide the scientific name for the species of coral used in the manufacture of the belt that they wish to import. The U.S. importer should have this form completed and have it, any required CITES permit, and this belt available for inspection as they prepare to import it into the United States. The U.S. importer must import their belt at a designated port. The U.S. importer can find a list of designated ports and contact information for those ports on our website at the following address: http://www.fws.gov/le/ImpExp/Designated_Ports.htm We suggest that they contact in advance the port where they will be importing their belt in order to coordinate its clearance into the United States. Thank you for your cooperation in complying with our regulations that help protect fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats. Please feel free to respond to this message with any further inquiries that you may have regarding this matter.
