What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? AR
I have a small business manufacturing duck and game calls. Some of the calls are cast plastic with inclusions in them. I want to do feathers. i.e. duck.
My question is this. In my limited translation abilities, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Dept 50 CFR § 20.91 Commercial use of feathers:
Any person may possess, purchase, sell, barter, or transport for the making of fishing flies, bed pillows, and mattresses, and for similar commercial uses the feathers of migratory waterfowl (ducks, geese, brant, and swans) killed by hunting pursuant to this part, or seized and condemned by Federal or State game authorities, except that:
(a) No person shall purchase, sell, barter, or offer to purchase, sell, or barter for millinery or ornamental use the feathers of migratory game birds taken under authority of this part; and
(b) No person shall purchase, sell, barter, or offer to purchase, sell, or barter mounted specimens of migratory game birds taken under authority of this part.
Part (A) seems to negate the first statement.
Can someone clarify please?
Thanks
Dave
