Mozambique Elephant?

[Doubleplay]

I know North American hunters can't export elephants hunted in Mozambique.
Question is are the elephant trophy fees are similar to own use or non exportable animals like in other African countries?

This is dated but when I was there in 2014 the trophy fees were high for elephant and they were charged by weight after x number of pounds. I’ll see if I can find my old paperwork and be more accurate.

Found it, up to 59 pounds, $27,300 between 59 and 69 pounds $29,300 and above 69 pounds it was $53,000. All of the elephant I saw were in the 40-50 pound class and one old one tusk bull was in the mid 60’s. This was in the delta but I understand there are better places in Mozambique for elephant. But things change.

Very high prices for 2014. Were they exportable then?
If not what's the point of charging by the weight?

No not importable into the US, they didn’t really market elephant to US hunters, it was geared more towards their European clients. I think they only had 1 or 2 bulls on quota. My mind is a little fuzzy on that though.

Interesting. Ivory import to Europe banned in 2021 unless it's pre dated to 1947.
I wonder whom they're targeting now and what are the prices.
