# §243.7. How can a non-Native acquire live reindeer?


If you are a non-Native who wants to acquire live Alaskan reindeer, you must apply to us in writing. We will either grant the request and issue a written permit valid for 90 days or reject the request and give our reasons in writing. Any transfer that we authorize is subject to the following conditions:

- (a) The transfer must meet the requirements of the Act and this part.
- (b) Within 30 days of transfer, you must either butcher the reindeer in Alaska or ship them out of Alaska. If you ship the reindeer out alive:
  - (1) You must comply with all Federal and State animal health regulations governing transfers and shipments; and
  - (2) The reindeer and their descendants must never be brought back to Alaska alive.
- (c) Within 30 days of the transfer, you must report to us the actual number of reindeer shipped out or slaughtered.
