I was talking to another hunter yesterday about the upcoming safari. (33 DAYS!!!) (but I'm not exited at all...
) He said he had heard at a local taxidermy shop here in the Little Rock, Arkansas area that the duties associated with ALL African trophies has increased. He gave some generic values that I don't necessarily trust. I asked if he saw it in a news letter, and he said yes, then named the taxi' shop.
I went online shortly after and did a web search. I scoured and searched the CBP website, and called the phone number on the page. I was directed to the voice mail of a doctor that apparently governs most of the trophy import regulation. She has not called me back as of this posting.
Have any of you seen anything in writing about the fee increase? I know there is the fiasco about certain trophies from certain countries (elephants) that are currently banned by Department of Fish and Wildlife Services, but I couldn't find anything else related on the interwebz.
Thanks for your help!
