Polar Bear Trophy Import: New Rules for Hunters

Q: What are the main provisions?

Key points include: Allows the import of polar bear trophies hunted in Canada before February 18, 1997. Allows the import of trophies hunted before May 15, 2008, if the application was submitted before that date and from a population previously allowed for import. Streamlines the permit process for import, disregarding some prior endangered species protection requirements.

This act simplifies the import of polar bear trophies hunted in Canada before 1997 or before 2008, depending on the application date. This means individuals with such trophies can now more easily bring them into the U.S., bypassing some previous endangered species protection restrictions. For citizens, this changes regulations regarding the possession and transport of hunting souvenirs.
