Under what condition is it lawful to import a bobcat pelt?

The correct condition for the lawful importation of a bobcat pelt is that it must be marked with an export and shipping tag. This requirement is in place to ensure that the pelt has been legally obtained and complies with conservation and wildlife protection laws. The export and shipping tag serves as documentation that the pelt was processed in accordance with legal regulations, thereby preventing illegal trafficking of wildlife materials.

While proof of purchase from California, a health certificate, or the pelt being processed might seem relevant, they do not meet the specific legal requirements set forth for importing bobcat pelts. These additional factors may pertain to other aspects of pelt handling or trade but are not necessary conditions for lawful importation per regulations governing wildlife conservation and management. The emphasis on the specific tag highlights the importance of tracking and documenting wildlife trade, which is crucial for sustainable practices and species protection.
