«I am delighted to hear from you and look forward to my hunt with Stalker Group in August. I had a wonderful experience hunting for Kuban Tur and Caucasian Chamois.
I would be very happy to provide references for both the hunt and the follow up trophy service. In fact, my taxidermist in the US was very complimentary of the condition that the cape and horns arrived in. »

The basic trophy shipment cost covers delivery of your trophies to the recipient airport and includes the following:
Dip&pack and export CITES are to be paid additionally.
The “Common” (not CITES) species usually take 2-3 months to deliver. It takes one more month to prepare the CITES documents
Hunting trophies are on the list of goods subject to veterinary control. When being exported to the European, American and other countries, they have to meet the strict requirements of these importing countries. Our taxidermists treat the trophies according to all international export regulations and pack them properly, thus providing 100% guaranty of delivering the trophy to the addressee.
It does take less time, because finished taxidermy goods do not require export permits. The carpets and mounts undergo full taxidermy processing which eliminates the risk of importing animal diseases. Requirements for the tanned skins are not so strict, either.
Export CITES permit is required for “any readily recognizable part or derivative thereof specified in Appendix”. In other words, the CITES permit is required both for a ready full mount and for the claws of the bear.
The whole process of importation to the recipient’s country is supervised by our partners – local custom brokers. The paperwork starts well ahead the shipment, using the copies of export documents. Please note that custom brokers’ services are paid separately.
It is better to take care about the trophy shipment before your hunting trip. The trophy itself often costs you more than all the travel expenses. Its shipment requires additional time and money to be spent. You should decide in advance, where you prefer to make your mount – in the destination country or back in your home country, or maybe in some other country. The documentation package and logistics will fully depend on this decision.
The trophy shipment is a complicated procedure because the trophy needs to be processed in a certain way in order to go from one country to another. Without this processing, the destination country can refuse the importation and the country of origin can refuse the exportation of the species. Besides that, certain veterinary documents need to be prepared, which demands a lot of time. For example, the CITES for certain species might take up to several weeks or even months to be issued (African species).
