Dip & Pack Shipping Destination

[COSA]

For a dip and pack shipment (non cites), can the shipment be delivered directly to your residence after clearing customs? Or does it have to go to a licensed taxidermist? Thinking about doing the skull work myself.

It depends on the species. Any swine or primates must go to a USDA approved facility. I recently learned that ostrich feathers must also go to a USDA facility approved for feathers and rodents (porcupines) must be finished taxidermy before entering the US.
