Namibia Donation Letters for CITES APP. II Hunting Trophies

Gift-/Donation Letters for Cites App. II hunting trophies are increasingly causing import problems in destination countries.

This usually concerns the following trophy species: Baboon, Caracal, African Wildcat and Hartmann Mountain Zebra.

The necessary Cites Export Permits reflect a code in Field # 5 a ("purpose of transaction") ;

a) with a hunt plus substantiating proper Hunting Permit, the code is "H" for "hunting".

b) with a Gift-/Donation Letter and without a Hunting Permit, the code is "P" for "personal".

Some importing / destination countries meanwhile require an import permit for trophies captioned with the purpose code "P". This includes countries like the USA and Germany.

Members are urged to ensure, that Cites App. II trophies are always captioned on the Hunting Permit and refrain from Gift-/Donation Letters.

Recent incidents are known, where the imports of Namibian Cites App. II trophies indicating the code "P", have been rejected by some destination countries and the concerned trophies were impounded. The purpose code should therefore always read "H", and this is only ensured when the trophies concerned are properly entered on a Hunting Permit.

Also, if you have something made out of a CITES trophy animal part, like hippo foot bowls or a tailswish, those are also considered Personal items and will need a seperate CITES

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
