Elephant Import Success

[jstanfor8]

Anyone seeing or receiving approval from the USFW on their elephant trophies from 2019 or later?

I met with the woman who clears my shipments at the DSC Convention and she had a list of 20 elephants which had just been approved.

Great! You wouldn't happen to know if they were from the backlog of 2017ish and earlier or more current? What company is she with?

 

[lhook7]

She is with Pro Cargo. She did say they were from about 4 years ago and they were all from Zimbabwe and Namibia.

Thank you!

I think lhook7 is referring to Cindi Rulon at Pro Cargo - just give her a call for that info, she's very nice. Welcome to PM me for her direct dial.

one of my Hunters took a Bull with us in Zimbabwe, in 2020, a week before the bug lock down. His Ivory arrived in the Usa 2 weeks ago.

Awesome! Did you provide him an Operator Enhancement Report to include with his import permit application to USFW? Where in Zim did he take it?

I definitely talked to Importers at DSC who said they're getting in, but like lion most of the hunters are keeping it quiet. But interested to see what info shows up here
