Hi all,
Heading for SA in Sept and am planning on bringing back a set of Impala horns. What all is involved in the process?? Thanks in advance and God bless.

If you are hunting, your PH will take care of the dipping, packing, shipping, and you will then deal with the customs clearance, storage fee, document fee, etc. Probably about $300 - $400. If you are not hunting, just bringing them home as a souvenir, you would probably be better off by buying one on ebay. I just checked, there is one for sale right now that is going for $10.

RBHunt,
Thanks for the update on proceedures. I will be hunting, and what I actually intend to do is have a custom knife built (on my return) around the Impala horn for my Grandson. So as you can see Ebay is not an option . I am also going to run into problems with the fact that this is a 5 day hunt and I will not be there long enough for the paperwork to go through. I read somewhere on our forum that it was required that a taxidermist here in the States accept the shipment of all trophy's or horns??? I am not sure about that, any thoughts? Thanks in advance and God bless

I'm a taxidermist, if you just have Impala horns you can clear them your self. There will be a $55.00 charge to US Fish & Wildlife (import fee)

What about horns and skulls? What would the difference in price between a buffalo skull and a skull and cape?

Thanks

Hello Minkman!

There wouldn't be a big difference, maybe $30.00 to $50.00

WidowMaker,

You have a PM

Widowmaker416,
Thanks for the information regarding the horns. I am still at a loss as far as what the paperwork involved is going to be, and when and how I pay the U.S. F&W. I am sure my PH will have all the information, but I thought I would try to get some of it on my own. Thanks again and God bless.
