Federal requirements
The agencies we work under
Importing an animal-origin food ingredient from a deer species involves four federal agencies. This is how each applies to us.

|---|---|---|
| U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service | Import/export license for commercial wildlife shipments; declaration of each shipment on Form 3-177; entry through a designated port | Applies for and maintains the license, declares every shipment, and makes shipments and records available for inspection |
| USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service | Veterinary Services import permit for animal-origin materials from deer species | Imports only under a valid permit, with the veterinary certification the permit requires |
| Food and Drug Administration | Registration of foreign food facilities; Prior Notice of imported food; dietary supplement cGMP and labeling rules | Ships only from an FDA-registered facility, files Prior Notice for each shipment, and manufactures and labels in the United States under the supplement rules |

Status. Reinsdyr Inc is completing its federal licensing and permits before its first commercial shipment. No commercial quantities are imported until the required license and permits have been issued.
Context
Reindeer in Alaska since 1892
Reindeer are not new to American agriculture. Domesticated reindeer were brought to Alaska's Seward Peninsula in 1892 as a food and income source for Alaska Native communities. Congress passed the Reindeer Act in 1937, and reindeer are still herded, slaughtered and sold as meat in Alaska today.
The same species, under the name caribou, is a traditional food across Alaska. The U.S. Department of Agriculture lists caribou liver and caribou bone marrow in its FoodData Central database of foods eaten in the United States.
