It looks like my government in its infinite concern for your and my health has further restricted imports of ungulate trophies.
I always took posession of all trophies myself from the air freight airline.Now I am told bu USDA that this is not possible.
For people interested, here is a link to the new (3/06) rules: USDA rules

specifically for buff etc table 3-17-10

All imports from countries designated to have BE:
All Entries are REFUSED.
From countries like TZ with NO BE,ONLY designated ,approved entities can import .

I was able to get a list of the approved outfits: a few taxidermist that hoped thru the loops in the past.They typically dont do go to the airport and pick up the goodies,but involve a "broker".He in turn charges another 300$+ to do so.

Possibly its time to leave the trophies and come back with memories - assuming one has nice memories :>

Bottom line, for anyone waiting to import his trophies, better research the import logistics.

I was under the opinion that you could still have the taxidermy done there and then shipped here.....am I wrong here?
