Fallow BuckTrophy Shipping RSA to UK
Has anyone shipped trophies back from RSA to the UK? I'm just curious to know what I can expect to pay as our mounts will be ready in a couple of weeks and I don't really know what to expect.
Is it normal to pick up from Airport cargo or port? or do they ship to your door?
Thanks

Hey FB
I'm in the same boat. Dont you love the never ending invoices from an African Safari

I'll PM you if I find out, my stuff is ready for shipping. I still dont know what is going to happen at Customs when it arrives.

hoggdeerfallow buck ask ur shipping agent in RSA to reduce the invoice on animals so that when it comes to pay customs duty u pay less other wise u will b paying a large amount,for example price of kudu should b around $100,that way the custom duty will b less.

Fallow Buckthanks for the tip hogdeer, I'll let them know when we are ready to ship.
Mark, Who did you use for your taxidermy?
Hi FB
I'm using Lifeform taxidermy in SA on recommendation from my PH. The shoulder mount impala and european skull mount waterbuck should be shipping in a couple of weeks once the latherworking has been completed on the backskins.
