Last updated: August 2026 dataRaptors — falcons, hawks, eagles, owls, and related species — are among the most tightly regulated live animals in international trade. All birds of prey are listed under CITES Appendix I or II, requiring both export and import permits, and many species receive additional protection under the US Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, which can prohibit import regardless of CITES authorization. USDA APHIS health certification and US Fish & Wildlife Service import declaration are mandatory entry requirements. Canada is the primary source country under this heading, largely through falconry bird transfers and captive-breeding programs operating under strict permit frameworks.

Possibly, but the process is complex. The importer needs a CITES import permit from US Fish & Wildlife Service, an APHIS health certificate, and must comply with any applicable Migratory Bird Treaty Act requirements. Falconry-specific permits may also be required at the state level. Given Canada's USMCA relationship, some procedural steps may be streamlined, but the wildlife permit requirements remain fully in force.
Appendix I species (e.g., most large eagles) face a near-prohibition on commercial trade; import is only permitted for non-commercial purposes such as scientific research or captive breeding, and both the exporting and importing country's CITES management authorities must approve. Appendix II species (e.g., many falcons) allow regulated commercial trade with valid export and import permits, though US domestic law may impose additional restrictions.
