Well, the costs are about the same in the long run. There is also a greater chance of damage from water, etc. We have had problems with USDA in LAX & JFK, and they can hold things up. Our best routing lately has been on Delta from Jo-burg to ATL to SEA, where we are situated. There are also...

Also, if you have something made out of a CITES trophy animal part, like hippo foot bowls or a tailswish, those are also considered Personal items and will need a seperate CITES

Hi, Even tho Coppersmith is our competetion, their rep is correct- we also recommend air freight. You can clear the trophies yourself, but unless you know what you're doing, it's probably easier to have someone else do it. Just my 2 cents...

Not necessarily true...if they are going to the same place, and everyone has proper documentation, then it's not a problem

Hello all, I received this message regarding Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) in South Africa that could greatly affect you hunters- please read the attached document from the Republic of South African Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries!

We will be there- look forward to meeting you all!

Does your future wife know this? :)

Thank you Jaustin- I will forward your suggestion to him.

Hello all, I just had a hunter ask how to get rid of that awful mothball smell that is lingering on his recent shipment of trophies. I'm wondering if sprinkling with baking soda and then vacuuming off carefully would be okay? I'm thinking Fabreeze might stain them...Anyone have a remedy for...

Another point to consider is having them mounted over there- it will cost more to ship as the crates would be bigger. The airlines charge based on dim weight or actual weight, so you are better off (costwise) having any mounting done here in the US.

Yes, you can if they are all destined for the same place, like a taxidermist.

There a a few things that really bother me about these criminals, besides the incredibly cruel actions they took. First off, they are professionals that are suppossed to be helping, not hurting. Another thing, I know that I have seen documents with some of those names come thru here, so I feel...

Thanks Jerome! I was looking at the site earlier, and being a member is the impression I got...

Hi all, I am thinking about attending the Reno show- do I need to be an SCI member? Now that importing trophies is the main focus of my job, I think it would be a great idea to go-I think it would be very informative. I'll bet rooms go fast, so I'd better make up my mind- thanks!
