We have been asked to loan an artifact which includes
eagle feathers to a museum in Canada. The US Fish &
Wildlife Service tells us that the regulations at 50
CFR 22, especially subsection 22.1, prohibits the
export or import of eagles, eagle parts, or eagle
feathers across the international border between the US
and Canada. Does anyone on the list have any
experience with this matter? When I read the
regulations, I don't see any exception for museums, but
would be glad to hear from anyone who has dealt with
this before.
