HUNTERS' HINT SHEET

Hunters returning to the U.S. directly from Edmonton will clear U.S. Customs and Immigration at the Edmonton International Airport

GUN REGISTRATION:

• Before leaving the U.S. stop at U.S. Customs
• Ask to register your firearms
• Present the firearms to register to the inspector
• Fill out the form (CF 4457) with serial #, make & model
• U.S. Customs official will stamp and initial form
• Keep the form in the gun case with the gun. If more than one gun is on the form make a copy for each case
• Registration form is good for as long as you own the gun
• Only need to register the gun once with U.S. Customs

Other types of proof of ownership

• Canada firearms registration paperwork
• Bill of Sale
• Insurance Paperwork

Without one of these forms of identification the processing of your firearms could be delayed at U.S. Customs

PAPERWORK REQUIRED WHEN ENTERING THE U.S.:

Each person carrying wildlife products must fill out a USFWS 3-177.

• Forms must be completed before entering U.S. Customs
• Attach CITES and/or Export Permits if applicable
• Have your Canadian hunting license in hand and ready for inspection

Following these three steps will help you to avoid any unnecessary delay during your Customs processing.

TIPS:

• If you have a CITES permit it must be stamped by Canadian Customs on the Arrivals level before you enter U.S. Customs. If you are hunting in Alberta your hunting license acts as your export permit if you export your game within 30 days of kill
• If you are hunting in another province a provincial export permit may be required
• Naturally shed antlers do not need an export permit if for personal use
• If you are transporting game for others who are not with you a provincial export permit is required (also CITES if applicable) contact the Canadian Fish and Wildlife office
• You cannot transport migratory birds belonging to another hunter
• Visitors to Canada can take back $400 US of merchandise duty free if in Canada more than 48 hours (all items made in the U.S. or Canada are duty free)
