Baboon on CITES

[C.W. Richter]

Call another customs brokerage and ask them about it (don't tell them what the other one said first.) Fauna & Flora (NYC-John). Then call the proprietor of Waldun's Tanning in SC (very familiar with all the Atlanta brokerages-he will tell you what's going on there!) If it's really just an extra $100 and a little time, no big deal, but if they're pulling your chain and want more (or in cahoots with their friends at the airport-wouldn't be the first time!) you'll know before you get involved.

If you’re asking me, Sir, Chicago. About 3.5 hours away. The gentleman handling my affairs has gotten back to me and says my crate can get shipped right to my door once cleared, if that’s what I prefer.

ok. i'm guessing it'll fly in there first stop in the US. If NYC or ATL I have suggested people to verify with

I have imported a couple and they were finished trophies, I used a Coppersmiths to clear them nothing special. Raw trophies have to be cleared by USDA taxidermist or tannery.
