The Port of Miami is the third largest port in the nation for imports and exports of wildlife, and second largest in the nation for shipments of live wildlife. Approximately 12,000 shipments of wildlife come
through Miami each year, 85% of which are live animals for the pet trade.

Tropical fish, reptiles, birds, mammals, and marine/terrestrial invertebrates are the bulk of the live
animals that transit through Miami. Business hours are 8:00am to 4:30pm, with a Wildlife Inspector available for duty 24 hours a day. Importers and exporters of live wildlife must provide the Fish and
Wildlife Service notification by fax 24 hours prior to the arrival/departure of the shipment.
