Can someone explain the process of importing trophies. What sort of paperwork is involved, and what do I have to do to become certified to recieve imported trophies.
Thanks in Advance.

such as fauna and flora,orCoppersmith.Also,alot of the larger tanneries will take care of it if they get the work.They will charge a little though,but its worth it.If yuo are interested in importing yourself,you need apermit from USFW.This involves yearly renewals only.You also need to be a USDA approved facility.This involves an inspection by an inspector every year and an inventory of chemicals to treat trophies,plus stringent standards involving treatment and disposal of waste.Finally,you must clear trophies through customs,which involves atrip to an airport that is an official port of entry.
Good luck


Thanks Gary
