                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

IMPORTATION (§ 29.1-542)

Live wolves or coyotes, or birds and animals otherwise classed as predatory or
undesirable, may not be imported into the Commonwealth or liberated therein, or
possessed therein, except under a special permit of the Board. Nonpredatory
birds, animals or fish may be imported, but upon arrival in the Commonwealth,
shall be subject to the laws governing the possession of such birds, animals and
fish in Virginia. Any person may bring into the Commonwealth, either in his
personal possession or as his baggage, on the same conveyance with him and
plainly labeled or tagged with his name and address, game and fish legally taken
in another state or foreign country, but in no greater quantity than he could
legally possess while in such other state or foreign country. Nothing in this
section shall be construed as applying to birds, animals and fish being
transported in unbroken packages from beyond the confines of Virginia through
the Commonwealth to another state.
