Guys just got the call my animals landed in calgary anyone know how long it takes to clear trophies >>>?????
 
Milford, if there are no issues with bugs, dirt, blood, paperwork missing etc.
It is possible to clear them yourself in under three hours.

Including all running around back and forth from the bonded warehouse to the airport customs office, etc.
If they want an Ag Canada inspection then it is when they get around to it. (or when they can schedule the inspection)

PM me if you have more questions.
 
Thanks I made a deal with the shipper he has a customs agent so they will clear them and I just have to pick them up . not sure how much i will have to pay customs though
 
One nightmare had someone being charged taxes in the entire trophy cost. (Trophy fee and taxidermy) On appeal obviously.

My experience was: GST on taxidermy.

If a broker is doing the work then it will depend on their schedule of work.

I would think that they would be processed, barring nightmares, within a week.

Good luck. Post the pictures when you get your hands on them.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
