Over the course of the years, when it comes to stories of negative experiences that I have heard from hunters, by far more issues arise from hunting trophy shipping and importation. The challenges of getting all of the paperwork details in order and getting hunting trophies back home is more challenging than the hunt. Today more than ever before you have to dot your i's and cross your t's, (and hope everyone else involved in the process has too). It is daunting even for me to keep up with all the different laws and changing regulations and requirements in the many countries from where you hunt to where you live. I have long believed that it is well worth your while to hire experts to help you navigate this process. Not only will you save yourself a lot of time, hassle and stress but more importantly you will avoid the MANY obstacles, compliance issues and complications that you can encounter during the process of importing your hunting trophies. And most importantly you will reduce the risk that your trophies may be delayed, lost or confiscated.

As any of you who have spent any time on here well know I strive to make AfricaHunting.com the best hunting site and resource for hunting in Africa and abroad. I want all of you to have access to the very best people and companies to work with, as well as reliable information and advice from those who really know what they are talking about. For this reason I am happy to announce that Allan Zarach from TROPHY SHIPPERS (www.trophyshippers.com) along with their team have joined AH as our recommended hunting trophy shipping and importation specialist.

I noticed in the timeline for safari planning that it mentions getting with a trophy importing specialist several months before travel. My outfitter did not mention this....is this process begun after the harvest or should I be in contact with an importer sooner?

Very much so! @TROPHY SHIPPERS has been a sponsor here since 2018, they provide a great service to our community.

This process can start at any time but knowing the ins and out and cost involved prior to your hunt will alleviate surprises after the fact. Information is powerful.
 
I have assumed from prior hunts that the Taxidermist sets up the carrier/ shipper. Most time I have had no problems. Most recent, I found out shipment was already stateside before I even knew it was shipped.

My next trip in May I will go with a little more knowledge and make things better. Thank you so much for that information. I always pick my broker, but did not know I had carrier options

Trying to be a bridge between Eastern and Western schools of conservation.
From India, based in Hungary.
Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.
