Importing trophies into Canada(Alberta)
So I moved here from the UK 4 yrs ago, and I have 6 deer heads in the UK(and my mother would like them out of her house!)
I would like to have them all shipped here.
Do I need anything to import them, or do I just have them shipped? What's the cheapest way to have them shipped? Can I have a box made out of regular plywood?
Any help appreciated

Make a box out of plywood and have them screwed-very well to the inside. Once they are here go to Canada customs they are not far from the airport in Calgary, you can clear them yourself. It might be a good idea to go to customs first before you send them to get an understanding of what's involved. It's really quite straight foreward though. They might want to have them inspected to make sure there are no bugs being imported with them. A taxidermist will throw some mothballs into the crate before shipping and this counts as "fumigation" so might be a good idea too.
