I was as happy as a box of fluffy ducks when the crates arrived from the Selous to Northern BC. Less than a year from the Safari in Tanz and no problems whatsoever in its travels.
I couldn’t imagine just taking pictures and not having my buff skulls with me to admire until the end of my time. I thought about it as well and thankfully I decided to bring them home. What a euphoric feeling I received while opening and touching the trophies again, amazing. Highly recommended!
My cost breakdown is as follows and I should mention that I used Dale Warren of Talon Distribution in Edmonton as my agent. He was absolutely brilliant.
Total freight from Tanzania (89kg) $2225
Airport handling fee $365
Customs export and Agent fee $350
Total $2940 US
Customs Canada GST $516.59
Customs Canada clearance $350
CFIA inspection fee $49.50
Terminal charges at airport $135
NAV Can fees $12
Storage charges (6 days) $240
Pick up from airport in Edmonton $85
Talon document handling fees $195
Terminal cross dock $57.50
Courier fees $50
Transportation from Edmonton to Smithers BC $159.50
More GST $27.97
Visa payment charge (3%) $59.36
Total $1934.87 CAN
Grand total with currency conversions to the next to worthless Canadian dollar is $6014.56 (about $4300 US).
This included to 2 buffalo skulls, hippo skull, warthog skull, impala skull, one hippo foot and a buffalo scrotum. All just dipped and packed.
Cheers
