In accordance with the facts above, which of the following provisions of the CBP regulations are the most relevant for Expeditious to research whether U.S. Fish & Wildlife import permits are required for MBM's boots?
- 19 CFR 10.16 through 10.26
- 19 CFR 12.26 through 12.32
- 19 CFR 111.19
- 50 CFR, Part 15
Show the answer and walk-through
CBP's answer: B. B: 19 CFR 12.26 through 12.32
Section 12.26 covers the importation of wild animals, fish, reptiles and similar species, and requires a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service where specimens are prohibited or protected. Sections 12.26 through 12.32 are therefore the CBP regulations to research for alligator skin boots. Section 111.19 is the broker national permit, 10.16 to 10.26 covers assembly abroad and related provisions, and 50 CFR Part 15 is a Fish and Wildlife rule, not a CBP regulation.
Importations of wild animals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, mollusks, and crustaceans; prohibited and endangered and threatened species; designated ports of entry; permits required. 19 CFR 12.26
