Figuring Out the Paperwork

Today's paper had this story about a woman who brought a severed head into the U.S. from Haiti. She was charged with "with smuggling a human head into the U.S. without proper documentation" and (I am not making this up) "with failing to declare the head."

So what is the proper documentation? I guess on the customs form you need to write, "One head, detached from previous owner," then pay some taxes and you're good to go.
