Yes it just cleared and I’m sending my final payment tonight. Finally able to get excited about them getting here. I’ll do a write up about the process when I receive them. The baboon made it take a bit longer but it was worth the wait.
 
I just received my invoice for last years Zambia hunt. 6 plains game. Dip, pack, crating, documenting $1,400. Airfreight $809 - LUN/AAD/IAD/DFW. Insurance $135. Normally, I would skip the insurance, however the IAD/DFW is by truck on Forward Air. Total bill $2,344.

It would have been nice if Ethiopian still flew to IAH.

Great price. who handled your shipping/crating?
 
hey folks, it would sure be nice when everyone posts their fees that they also post who the shipper was, where it will land, the airline, and who handled all the paperwork so we can get an idea who to be checking with for the best rates as high as they are now. thanks Jim

There are really only two choices now: Turkish and Ethiopian. I've shipped Turkish before cheap and fast. However, now I am hearing Turkish is adding lots to storage charges. This is my first Ethiopian shipment. Unfortunately, it arrives at IAD and then is trucked by Forward Air to the next airport.
 
I have not received the quote for shipping yet, but here are the dip & crating charges from last month.

I heard from my broker in Seattle that CBP is physically inspecting ALL sport hunted trophy imports regardless of port of entry….

And they (CBP) are charging 206.52 per day minimum (after the 1st day) until they get the trophy’s inspected….

This is the screen shot of his email. I called him after this and he confirmed verbally that this applies to ALL is ports…

What a crock of sh*t. At 206.52 per day can get seriously expensive in no time. I wonder if this is yet another failed attempt by the antis to discourage us from bringing trophies into the country.
 
Ridiculous.

Heading out to purchase a camera for the next trip.

Yes sir it is! Does CBP charge every vehicle that they inspect coming across the border? Of course not, it’s their freaking job! We shouldn’t have to pay one more cent to have anything inspected or stored we already pay their salaries with tax money.
If the crate goes to a bonded facility, does this change anything?

Despite my 14 weeks waiting. My crate is in a wh with SSI and there shouldn't be any extra charges.

with the cape buff you will probably have to use Turkish Airlines into Chicago, and the airport wanted 348.00 per day after 24 hours on my shipment before this CBP 206.00 per day. I wish you the best

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
