| About us | Are there reporting requirements for sea otter hunters? Yes. Hunters must present the hides and skulls to fish and wildlife service representatives for tagging. Hides and skulls must be tagged within 30 days of the kill. The hide and skull should be thawed when tagged to:1) allow an unbroken pre-molar tooth to be extracted for aging; 2) allow accurate skull measurements to be made; and 3) allow the hide to be examined for determination of sex. Flipper tags and radio transmitters must be given to the tagger. A list of tagging representatives is available from the services marine mammals management field office. What may be sold as a native handicraft? Authentic native handicrafts may be sold to a non-native. This means items composed of a significantly altered pelt that is wholly or in some significant respect made of natural materials and produced, decorated, or fashioned in the exercise of traditional handicrafts without the use of pantographs, multiple carvers, or other mass copying devices. Traditional handicrafts include, but are not limited to weaving, carving, stitching, sewing, lacing, beading, drawing and painting. May raw(tanned or untanned) hides be sold or transferred? Yes, but only to an alaska native within alaska or to a registered agent for resale or transfer to an alaskan native within alaska. It is illegal to give as a gift, trade, or sell either tanned or untanned hides to non-natives. May sea otter handicrafts or clothing be exported? Handcrafted sea otter products may be exported to a foreign country. However, the exporter must first obtain a convention on international trade in endangered species(cites) permit from the fish and wildlife service. A cites permit is not required for sea otter handicrafts that are personal items if they are worn, or carried out in accompanying baggage, however, a u. S. Customs service declaration form should be completed prior to taking any personal marine mammal product out of the country if it is intended that it will be brought back by the same person. Exporters should inquire about foreign import restrictions, since some countries may not allow the importation of handcrafted sea otter products. |
