    I live in Mexico and want to compete in some US shows. I see a lot of Canadian bird taxidermists coming to shows in the US with their birds. Of course, I've tried for over a year to find out how to do this but cannot get anyone at customs to give me a straight answer. I think if it was Canada - no problem, but Mexico is different. Any thoughts or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    USDA–APHIS regulations allow for the unrestricted entry of FULLY
    taxidermy finished trophies. Fully taxidermy finished trophies have been
    professionally cleaned (free from dirt, blood, insects, putrid odors, etc.) and
    processed. Fully taxidermy finished trophies have been professionally
    prepared (may be stuffed and/or mounted) for the purpose of personal
    exhibition. Look for evidence of professional cleaning and processing. If
    unable to determine if the trophy has been fully taxidermy finished, regulate
    the trophy as not fully taxidermy finished. If fully taxidermy finished trophies
    are shipped with not fully taxidermy finished trophies (unfinished), regulate
    the entire consignment as not fully taxidermy finished trophies.
