Dip & Pack ship to USDA approved facility????

[Edster]

Trying to plan ahead a bit. Found this on taxidermists page

Is this true of all dip and pack or just primates/swine??

Your link doesn't open up as posted.

It has just been primates and swine but things change daily at times.

Check with your importer, they should be up to date on what is required.

Link is just a search engine for USDA approved facilities. Already had conversation with importer and he is not sure

For facilities talk to your taxidermist. He may be certified, if not he can give you the information for the tannery that he uses which is quite likely certified.

I have used Safari Specialty Importers for both of my hunts and they know exactly what is required and they have a USDA certified warehouse that dip and pack along with mounted trophies will go through when they get to the US.

My experience with CopperCoppersmiths and D&L customs brokers as well.

Has anyone ever picked up their trophies from the year before and flown them as luggage to the US?

You would have to make a second trip or have a very lengthy stay over.

I have 2 warthog Euro mounts coming hopefully in the next couple weeks along with other mounts. I talked to Laura at Coppersmiths in Chicago and she said the hogs being finished do not have to go to USDA center in fact she said if I had gotten a Baboon skull they have a guy that will come to their warehouse and clear it there for 100.00 wish I had asked about that before
