Just got notification that my trophies are done in South Africa. Any recent examples of what to expect? It will be shipped to Atlanta and I will pick up once clears customs.

Just got my shipping details for my trophys from June of this year.

Dip and pack for 2 cape buffalo, kudu, sable, and impala was $1146

Crate is 112x112x52 cm and 118 kg going from Johannesburg to Atlanta. Total shipping, documentation, insurance, etc via Safari Air Cargo Systems is $1710.24

Using Coppersmiths to clear customs, which will be another $1k or so once my crate arrives.

I'll say that all these expenses have been about what I expected and originally budgeted.

It’s all about the volumetric weight.
Any big 5 in the crate? Only Turkish airlines, if no big 5 a couple more options for shipping.

I saw it quoted somewhere $1000 for clearance but that’s about twice what I’ve paid for any of my shipments including 1 with big five and 2 with CITIES animals. This through Coppersmiths in Atlanta. Last shipment was in Aug. 2022.

Post some pictures when you get them on the wall.

No big five, or Cites animals, only Plains Game. Also using Coppersmith on the USA side.
