Seal sporrans

[Wompet]

For those not in the know, The genus Arctocephalus consists of eight of the nine species of fur seal. On the other hand, there are other genus of seals:
* Genus Arctocephalus fur seals - CITES I & II
* Genus Callorhinus fur seals - non-CITES
* Genus Eumetopias
* Genus Neophoca
* Genus Otaria
* Genus Phocarctos
* Genus Zalophus

along with the family Phocidae: true seals

One of these sporrans is made with Phoca vitulina which is not in the CITES database
...
Which again gets back to my question, is the sporran importable if the seal comes from a species that is not in the CITES database?

Also, the same question if the sporran is coming from Scotland which doesn't have any CITES listed seals? For that matter the EU (Britain being a part of the EU) seems to have a ban on importing seal products.

Phoca vitulina can be harvested legally in the UK (Conservation of Seals Act, 1970) and they are not considered endangered by the USFWS, so legal importation should be possible.

Just taking a quick look at the entry package:

The entry package must include the following documents for shipments clearing U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service at the Port of Los Angeles.

* Import Declaration Form 3-177 (1 original and 3 copies) These shouldn't be necessary for a personal shipment.
* All ORIGINAL foreign export permits The shipper ought to provide a copy of this.
* Copy of U. S. Customs Form 3461, if applicable The Royal Mail customs declaration on the outside of the package should be sufficient.
* Copy of air waybill or bill of lading Yes
* Copy of commercial invoices and packing list Yes
* Copy of any other pertinent documents (APHIS permits, health certification, etc.) The shipper must certify that the skin came from a non-endangered, legally harvested and exported animal (identified in binomial nomenclature to species).
* Inspection Fee check payable to DOI, U. S. Fish and wildlife Service or credit card may be used by the required Import/Export licensee. The entry package should be presented to the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service $90 USD, if collected

I think that would do it, though there are a few too many "should"s in there for my personal comfort level.
