Check a cross-border movement of wildlife against the federal prohibitions that were opened
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- For a proposed import, export, or transport of fish, wildlife, or a plant, list the conduct in 16 U.S.C. 3372(a)(1) and (a)(2) and the facts on the file about where the animal was taken, possessed, transported, or sold. Separately say whether the activity is also in a class the APHIS page names, such as commercial transport. Do not decide that the movement is lawful.
- What the lawyer must review
- 16 U.S.C. 3372(a)(1) prohibits importing, exporting, transporting, selling, receiving, acquiring, or purchasing fish, wildlife, or a plant taken, possessed, transported, or sold in violation of United States, treaty, or Indian tribal law. Subsection (a)(2) covers those acts in interstate or foreign commerce for fish or wildlife taken, possessed, transported, or sold in violation of state or foreign law, and it states separate plant circumstances. The APHIS page describes Animal Welfare Act standards for certain animals transported commercially and links to a commercial-dog-import page that was not opened. The lawyer decides which regime applies. A state wildlife permit was not opened.
