I have no idea what information this decision was based on. Scientific research? Who knows. I have my doubts.
Could someone please tell me what this means for importing?

I have got a shipment of giraffe bone stuck at the Christchurch airport with customs and cites having gotten involved through MPI (Ministry of primary industries) putting a hold on the shipment that was to become knife handles. 6 giraffe leg bones and 4 impala horns may be destroyed if my customs broker can not get it sorted out
So is there reason to believe now that can’t import giraffe mount or parts etc into the UNited States?
Wondering as
Trying to decipher all this is confusing.
Any advice would be much appreciated. I have an old bull giraffe being dipped and packed in Namibia as I write this. WELL in Houston will be importing the crates and they have been very effective at importing several CITES trophies over past several years. I’ve never had an issue. Are there any proactive steps I should take at this point?
The USA is a party to CITES and thus;
CITES APPENDIX II CAN BE EXPORTED AND IMPORTED. They just require a permit now.
Same as any other Appendix II species.
