Which animals slow you down during the importation process?

Flora & Fauna or v-v. It may be Coppersmiths I've heard good things about in ATL.
 
When it is time for your trophies to come back to the US (Post taxidermy occurring in RSA), and they go thru the Customs process, I remember reading on here that a wart hog and a bush pig will slow the process down as an additional inspection is required. I have recently added a Honey Badger to my wish list for my June, 2024 hunt. Will the honey badger also slow down that process?

Thanx in advance.


Swine and primates
 
What you need to do with both swine and primates is find a importer who is familiar with the regulations and knows how to handle them.

I brought back both from last years hunt that I received this year and all they did was to slow down the process by a couple of days. I had no extra charges since my importer knew what was required and how to handle both.
 
Up here it's pigs, primates, birds, cats, and Appendix II animals that can slow things down.
 
Anything with a CITES
 
Like many have said, primates, swine and birds, especially if only dip&pack.If you have CITES and all paperwork is in order I’ve found no significant delays.

HI all, here is a Short update on our America trip, I currently in Houston and have 2 more meetings here before movings North toward Oklahoma, Missouri and Iowa, and from there I will head to Colorado and Idaho,I have been met with great hospitality and friendship, and have met several new and old clients and we are going to book the rest of 2025 season quick and have several dates booked for 2026!
That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
