Hi Support,

I think it will be helpful for the sellers and buyers if an easier method is introduced to fill out Form 3-186. Its now a tedious task to type the fields in Form 3-186 everytime when we sell migratory waterfowls.

Hi,

Good to see such suggestions.

Frankstrade has introduced a new feature by which seller can generate Form 3-186 and buyer can counter-sign the same from www.frankstrade.com itself.

Step 1: Seller should fill Item Type in Sell Page if Form 3-186 is applicable for the item.

For the data like species name, male and female count to be auto filled in Form 3-186, seller should fill the field Item Type in Sell Page.

Few examples are:

If you are selling 1 mandarin drake, then Item Type should be filled as:

If you are selling a Pair of mandarin ducks, then Item Type should be filled as:

If you are selling Trio of call ducks, then Item Type should be filled as:

If you are selling Lot of 5 ducks (3 males and 2 females), then Item Type should be filled as:

Step 2: Waterfowl breeders who would like to auto fill Form 3-186 for the items sold should update Federal Permit Number.

For this, either click on the hyperlink displayed in My Account >Forms page (highlighted in red color in the image below) OR go to My Account > Edit Profile.

Once the Permit Number is entered, it will be displayed as:

Step 3: Seller should add Shipping Date for the sold items for which Form 3-186 is applicable.

Go to My Account > Forms OR click on www.frankstrade.com/Forms

By default, Role will be Seller and Status will be Pending.

All the sold items will be displayed at the lower section.

Click on Add Shipping Date, enter the date and click on Add.

Once Shipping Date is updated, the entry will move to the upper section in Forms page.

Note:

1. If Form 3-186 is not applicable for any item, please tick the checkbox and click on Update As Forms Not Applicable.
2. Items bought by same buyer and shipped on same date will be grouped together. So, seller can generate single Form 3-186 for all such items.

Step 4: Seller can generate Form 3-186

Once Shipping Date is updated, the entry will move to the upper section in Forms page from where seller can generate Form 3-186.

For this, seller should tick the checkbox next to the Species name and click on Generate Form.

Details like permittee and recipient address, date of shipment, species name and count will be autofilled in this preview page.

Seller can enter the Method of Marking.

Then, seller should click on Click here to sign electronically.

Upon doing this, Permittee’s electronic signature as well as Signed Date will be placed here.
