Your consignment will be collected by the shipping agent, Safari Air Cargo Systems or any other agent of your choice on receipt of your final payment, as well as export permits issued by the Authorities. Air- or sea freight details will be forwarded once received from Safari Air Cargo Systems.
GUIDELINES FOR IMPORTING TROPHIES FROM NEIGHBOURING AFRICAN COUNTRIES
We import trophies from our neighboring countries on a regular basis. Copies of all valid export documentation, i.e Veterinary, Nature Conservation permits for plains game and CITES permits for endangered species, need to be faxed to us as soon as possible, after hunt has been completed. These documents must be made out to: Client, c/o Safari Taxidermy 47 Goud Street, Laboria, Polokwane, South Africa.
On receipt of the above-mentioned copies, we will immediately apply for the import documentation.
We will arrange for your trophies to be imported once our Authorities issued the import documentation.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: The consignment should under no circumstances be dispatched, until we have forwarded copies of the import documentation to the exporters. Shipments arriving before all validdocumentation has been issued, are liable to be confiscated.
