Just received an email from Conservation Force that my ele import has been approve/issued for the ivory/leather and after only 9 days. To say we appreciate the service they offer would be an understatement.
Special thanks to @TSALA HUNTING SAFARIS and @Rare Breed

SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!!! Congratulations! Well I guess I owe you a bottle of champaign during our bird hunt to celebrate my friend! You took a bull of a lifetime !!!
 
Good to hear that it’s going to get through.
 
That is fantastic news, early Christmas present.
 
Congratulations.

How big of an addition to the house will this require?
 
Congratulations on your elephant permit.

I can't say enough about Conservation Force; they obtained import permits for 2 elephants, a rhino, and a lion for me - all in a relatively short time.

That’s wonderful Franco! Where did you hunt?

Thanks Scott. The elephants were from Botswana, and Zimbabwe, the Namibia elephant was non-exportable. The rhino was Namibia, and the lion - Zambia. All trophies are stateside now, the rhino was done as a half-body and is in my shop awaiting the completion of my trophy room.
 
Congratulations!
I haven’t had the same luck so far with CF as I am still awaiting import approval on an Elephant from Botswana taken in May/2022 and submitted in September/2023.

HH,

Have you asked where you are in the queue? My Bots elephant was taken July 2022 and was the last to be approved although the application was submitted just a few months later. The rhino was taken in Namibia in August of that same year and was approved within a few months. The Zim elephant was exactly a year later and was actually approved before the Bots elephant.

I don't completely understand the order or process. I believe the applications are being processed by country, on rotation rather than date, and there was a significant backlog.

Perhaps someone more familiar with the process could educate us?
 
Happy to report that I received my Elephant Import permit today. Now I need to decide which Broker to use for the Import. Anyone have an idea who’s good? I have use Coppersmith & Trophy Shippers.

HH,

Congrats on the elephant. The wait for the permit is the worst part of the whole experience; such a relief when it's issued.

I have used Coppersmith with no issues.

I’d suggest Safari Specialty Importers

I have no idea the shipping cost from here to Costa Rica. I can do my research on shipping and get back with you later today.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
