Shipping Wild Game
We accept shipments of finished products processed by a butcher, meat processor or taxidermist. We also accept shipments of antlers. Shipments must follow general shipping guidelines and be packaged to prevent leaks and noticeable odors.
Regulatory Compliance
Customers are responsible for complying with fish and wildlife regulatory requirements and should contact the appropriate state and federal government agencies for details and applicable permits, forms, labels or tags.
In addition to the general requirements above, there are many specific regulations to consider when shipping goods of this nature, a few of which are highlighted below.
Labeling and Marking
All containers of seafood and wildlife (including shellfish) being shipped interstate must be marked according to the 1988 Lacey Act. A Fish/Wildlife sticker may be used by the shipper to provide required information. The following six items are to be prominently displayed on each shipment:
