The USA does not have a law against Typhlonectes, the countries of origin have laws prohibiting export of Typhlonectes. The USA because of its treaty obligations observes all wildlife regulations from countries of origins and enforces these laws under various acts and legislation such as the LACY act. As the countries do not permit legal export, you cannot legally bring them into the country and this is where the federal laws come into play.
